In 1871 Plymouth Library started as a stock company.  Sale of stocks bought the first books.  Book rental money was the only income until 1885.  Upon receipt of a bequest of $1,000, stock was surrendered by members and the company was merged into an association.  A charter was granted by the state in 1886.  In November, 1929, the library building and contents were destroyed by fire.  In April, 1932, the present colonial type building was dedicated.
