[2] In March 1913, the Farmington Township board asked some women of the Ladies Literary Society to start a library.

In 1919, when the war ended, Farmington added onto the Township Hall and a room for the library was created on the north side of the building.

Soon the book collection grew to 4,500 volumes, and the need for increased library services and larger facilities became greater.

Applications for federal funds were being rejected and construction cost was beginning to add up.

To raise money to add books and furnishings, a gift drive was held.

The lower floor had a meeting room and the Oakland County Sub Regional Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped.

It was decided to build the new branch in downtown Farmington, at the corner of State and Liberty Streets.
