The current library building opened in 1964 and remains one of the Library’s most visited branches. It underwent a renovation in 1980 and an expansion in 2004 to better serve the growing Waterville community.

This centennial celebration honors 100 years of service and highlights the Library’s ongoing role in providing access to information, supporting education and strengthening community connections.
