St. Marys Public Library

In 1904, the Carnegie Foundation awarded the town a grant of $10,000 to build a public library. Local architect J.A. Humphris used St. Marys limestone, which complemented the neighbouring town hall. The new library provided accommodation for a municipally owned collection of books that had been previously housed in the town hall. The children’s wing was completed in 1988.
