The beginnings of the Farmington Public Library have their foundations in a "night of music and perusing" sorted out by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1915. "Understanding Rooms" were first situated in the Tetley Building, second in the Farmington High School, and then moved back to the Tetley Building. The Library officially opened in May, 1916, with a gathering of 150 books, which developed to 1,600 books by 1917. In April, 1920, the Library was moved for the fourth time to the Farmer's Bank Building. Plans were being made for the fifth move to a new building, Long Memorial Hall, which was worked as a tribute to William Dubart Long, a pioneer of Farmington. At the point when the structure was about finished, a fire deferred the conventional devotion, which occurred October 31, 1924. Farmington Public Library was housed in Long Memorial Hall from October, 1924, until its transition to 108 W. Harrison St. in August, 1980. Services have step by step expanded to include books as well as magazines, newspapers, enormous print books, audio books on tape, and recordings. Further extension in services include investment in the interlibrary advance program, support in the state's Summer Reading Program for kids, kids' story hours, replicating services, and audio-visual hardware for advance, microfilm perusers in the parentage department, mechanized card index and flow system, and gear for the outwardly disabled. A conveyance service for the homebound has been added to the rundown of services given by the library. In 1977 a proposition for a new library was displayed to the City Council. From a devoted gathering of Friends of the Library, individuals from the library board, and a submitted custodian, the last arrangement for a new office came to fruition. The City allotted a sum for genuine development and draftsmen's charges, and the arranging and controlling board of trustees started a raising money crusade to outfit the structure. The structure lodging the Farmington Public Library on West Harrison Street officially opened to the public in August, 1980. This structure was committed in the memory of Witten H. Ledbetter, gave companion of the library, handy writer, and committed city hall leader of Farmington. On September 23, 2015, the present structure opened at 101 North A Street. It is practically triple the size of the past structure at roughly 22,000 square feet. The library has developed from a book gathering of 150 of every 1916 to an accumulation of in excess of 42,000 volumes; from a starting participation of 200 of every 1916 to in excess of 10,000 today.
