History of the Library
The Cresco Public Library was built with funds from the Carnegie Foundation in 1914 and dedicated on February 10th, 1915. A major addition to the south side in 1991 doubled the size of the library. This was accomplished with a federal grant, local Foundation donations and many volunteer hours. Today the lirbary has thousands of books, audio books, DVDs, access to online resources, ten public computers and a meeting room to serve Cresco and the surrounding communities.
