Friends of the Lowell Public Library
The Friends of the Lowell Public Library, Inc. is a nonprofit organization created to support and enhance the Lowell Public Library and the Schneider and Shelby branch libraries.
Library History
The Lowell Public Library has occupied three different buildings since it was first established as a public library in 1920.
Check out the information from the Dedication Ceremony that was held when we opened at our current location in 1993, and the Library History information we posted in 2023, the year of our 30th anniversary in our current building.
For more history of the library, the town of Lowell, and its surrounding towns, check our Lowell History Pages (Archived).
