The year 2013 brings a milestone. WE ARE 115 YEARS OLD. The library was first established in 1898 and has been housed in no less than 5 different locations in the village. We are looking for historical library information over the past 115 years. If you have any documentation, or pictures, we would love to see them.

 Are we lucky? tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341d32e053ef017d4145e95a970c 2013-02-25T11:43:12-06:00 2013-02-25T11:43:12-06:00 This is a pile of shamrocks, much like the pile of gifts that have been given to the North Freedom Library over the past YEAR. That's right; our benevolent library friend has been purchasing items for us for an entire year now. How much is the total up to you ask? The value of the items is now over $70,000.

 What would you do with $50,000? tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341d32e053ef017c3344539c970b 2012-11-09T13:14:58-06:00 2012-12-27T15:50:02-06:00 I do not know how well I could answer this question, however someone came up with a great answer. A single person has been purchasing items for our library since February and as of today the total has passed $50,000. This total of donated items is greater than our entire operating budget for the year 2012. The Library, as well as its patrons would like to give a great big THANK YOU to this amazing persons astonishing generosity! North Freedom Public Library
