Since 1886 Marion has enjoyed the benefits of a public library. Marion's first library had an annual $1 a year subscription and was known as the Mechanics' Library Association. In 1907 a Carnegie building was completed, which, with a few additions, served the community through 1978. Our current building was occupied in 1979, and added to in 1997. Three branches serve Marion County communities in Caledonia, LaRue, and Prospect. Socialize with the Marion area business community, while practicing social distancing, at this month's Business After Hours!

As our 2020 Community Campaign gets underway during a time filled with uncertainty about the continued effects of the COVID-19 crisis on the community, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and ineffectual. But United Way is unparalleled in our power to bring together partners, providers, and resources to address the needs of a community in crisis. Our community partners are hard at work providing families with employment and financial services, childcare support, and mental health counseling, while continuing to meet the immediate demands for food, shelter, and emergency funds. COVID-19 presents a new challenge for us, but we’re ready for it.
Needless to say, library services in Marion County have seen tremendous change over the past century and more. Your most valuable community resource now offers information and entertainment in a variety of formats, like ebooks, audiobooks, Blu-ray, digital magazines, and even streaming video and online courses. Most importantly, MPL is a hub of community activity with hundreds of engaging programs being offered each year for all ages. Visit our business after hours to get filled in on the latest offerings @ your library.
