The history of the Nipigon Public Library and the librarians employed by this library began in the early months of 1958. Downstairs under Thompson's Drug Store, a small collection of books and a small space for the first Librarian, Mrs. B. Rushton, was made. Within a year, Mrs. Rushton was succeeded by Mrs. L. Heald.Over the years, the Nipigon Public Library collection expanded and more room was required. With government assistance, the library was relocated on May, 1967 to a larger building that still houses the collection today. The first librarian in this newly renovated location was Mrs. A. Donaldson. The grand opening of the Centennial Library was August 16, 1967. In 1969, Mrs. J. Scott became the fourth librarian. In 1972, Miss B. Brill took over the position for the next eleven years. For a short time, Mrs. M. Epple became the sixth librarian. She was succeeded by Mrs. K. Jubinville in 1984. Miss K. Matheson was the eighth librarian from 1991 to 1997. T. Zurich succeeded her for two years. The tenth and current librarian is S. Sugawara. While on leave in 2002, B. Walker was the librarian.
Wired and Wireless internet access is paid.
The Library collection is continually expanding and is weeded regularly to keep it current. The collection is supplemented with many purchased and donated materials including videos, talking books, music and magazines. In an effort to keep current with new technology, public access computers, hardware and Internet services are available. In May of 2004 we proudly launched our first automation system with funds from the estate of D. McInnes. 2008 saw a migration to a new joint library automation partnership. In 2010 a Daisy reader for the perceptually challenged - donated by the CNIB, became available to borrow.
