Rolling Prairie Branch History
The first library in Rolling Prairie opened in 1957 in a small building on Depot Street, which had been remodeled and renovated by the community's Lions and Lionettes organizations. The Library Board of Trustees purchased the former Methodist Church in 1979 and renovated it into a library. Once again community volunteers helped prepare a building for library service with a "painting party". Dedication of the new location was held on December 30, 1979. The library officially opened for business on January 2, 1980. Over time, the building developed some serious structural problems over the course of time and fortunately there was enough property available that the Library was able to build a new facility in 2016 as a part of a major renovation project. There are several items in the new facility that came from the church that are a part of the new building.
