History of the Library:
Library began in the basement of City Hall in November, 1976 with 500 books. In 1989 a Library Foundation was organized to look into the possibility of relocating the library to a larger building. Within 1 Year $120,000 was raised from private donations. Along with the state grant and funding from the City of Wells a building was purchased and renovated. In January 1990 the books from the old site were moved to the new site via a human chain, and we would like to thank all of you who took part it that chain.
Snoopy Book program has been going since 1977. Children may put their name in a drawing, one name is drawn out each week and they are given a free hard cover book, sponsored by Peoples State Bank.
