A welcoming place in our community where friends and neighbors come to learn, discover, and connect.
Community Support - Past & Present
The Golconda Public Library has been at the Main Street location since 1951 but was actually started in the early 1900s. From those early days to now, it has been an important part of our wonderful community. The building, the location, the books/materials, and most importantly the people in the community have all worked together to make it a "welcoming place where friends and neighbors come to learn, discover, and connect." From the beginning (History), the people in our community have worked together to build and to support their library. The early visionaries, women's clubs, and generous donors all helped build and support this library since its inception.
