Director’s Corner
The Staff and Trustees of the Roselle Public Library District invite you to our celebration of 75 years of Library
Services in the Roselle Community. Library service to the Roselle Community began in January 1940 with
the Roselle Library Center, created as a Works Progress Administration project (W.P.A.), housed in Salk
Pioneer School. By December 1942, the W.P.A. was no longer functional. The Library Committee, consisting of local citizens, continued to support the idea of offering library services, petitioning the Village of
Roselle in January 1943 to take over the Library as a Village Library. Elections for the Village Library Board of
Trustees took place in April, 1943. The Library, and its collections and services to the community, expanded
as the Village grew. In 1945 the Roselle Library moved to the building on the corner of Park and Main. On
April 20, 1972, Roselle residents approved a referendum converting the Roselle Village Library to the Roselle
Public Library District – the entity that provides library services to the Roselle Community today. In 1982 the
Roselle Public Library moved into the current Library building, financed through a bond issue approved by
Library District residents in 1979. It has been a long journey to where we are now – and the Roselle Public
Library District Staff and Board of Trustees look forward to continuing our tradition of providing the best in
library services for the residents of the Roselle Community.
Join us all year, 2015, to celebrate the past – as we look forward to serving you in the future.
Experience our “new look” with new furniture in the Adult and Teen Areas of the Library. The Roselle Public
Library is the place for the Roselle Community to Read, Play, Learn, and Discover!
