Library history
January, 2019: The library gets a "refresh" with new carpet and paint.
May 8, 2004: The library opened to the public.
August 2001: The hospital building was moved 1/2 mile to its current location on NE Lockwood Creek Road. The building was then transformed into a library thanks to the generous contributions from the Colf Family Foundation, Friends of the Library fundraising, multiple grants and donations, and the library district.
May 2001: Friends of La Center Community Library formed.
Early 2001: Margaret Colf Hepola saw new life for a historic circa 1905 hospital building as a public library and saved it from being destroyed in a firefighter burn exercise.
