Our library contributes to the well-being and health of our community by providing information, supporting literacy and bringing people together. Because of our participation in the Marigold Library System, our library is a single point of access to millions of movies, books, CDs, DVDs, events and more.
Bowden Public Library officially opened on October 29, 1955, in a room of the local hotel (rented for $15/month). Many books were donated, and more were bought with fundraising and grant money. By the end of 1955 the library boasted 1500 volumes, and had to move to a larger space in the Walter Sick Building in 1957.
