History of Library

The Belgrade Community Library was established in 1932 by the Belgrade Women's club. It was housed in the city offices. In 1934 volunteers began building a new log structure on Main Street and on January 24, 1935 the library moved into the "Log Cabin." This was home for the library until 1989 when again community volunteers came together and built the facility at 106 N. Broadway and the library moved once more. In 2002, a new addition to the library was built, adding 5500 square feet.

Current Statistics

Belgrade Community Library has more than 34,000 items in the collection, as well as more than 5,300 registered borrowers. The Library receives more than 7,000 visits from borrowers per month.
