History of the Library
The vision of a free public library in Beaver Dam began with a group of devoted citizens on August 30, 1884 by forming a corporation under State Law as the Beaver Dam Public Library Association. The first Beaver Dam library opened in a room in City Hall on December 1, 1884.
Library Board
The Library board provides oversight and policy guidance for library operations, including the library's endowment investment.
Endowment Fund
A gift that gives forever--
The Beaver Dam Community Library Endowment Fund has been established to receive gifts and bequests.
Friends of the Library
From supporting the summer program to offering cultural programs for all ages to sponsoring the Little Free Library to celebrating library staff, the Friends of the Library are strong supporters of the community library.
Virtual Library Card
Staying at home during the COVID 19 outbreak? Visit the library virtually even if you have not registered for a library card. The new virtual library card service allows you access our digital library without a full-access card. Upgrade the virtual card to a full-access library card when the library reopens.
