About Library & Contact Information

Underwood Memorial Library was started in 1953 with a trust fund from Jane Underwood.  The library was originally housed in a portion of Starling Grange Hall under librarian Nettie Mitchell, but was moved to the Fayette Mills Schoolhouse, where it currently resides.  The schoolhouse was originally located on the old North Wayne Road before it was moved to Rt. 17.  The building has retained much of its original charm.  The library has had many updates since 2019 funded by a grant.  Stop by and see our beautiful library!

The library is open Wednesdays from 4:00 - 7:00, Thursdays from 4:00 - 7:00pm, Fridays from 9:00am-12:00pm, and Saturdays from 9:00am-12:00pm.  (We are closed on Saturday if it is a Monday holiday weekend.)  In addition to book, DVD, and puzzle borrowing, we offer computers for public use, 24 hour Wifi access, and minimal printing and copying services.  If you can't find the book you are looking for, we may be able to help you with our Inter Library Loan service.  The Underwood Memorial Library Board of Trustees meet the second Monday of each month at 5:00 pm.

The mission of Underwood Memorial Library is to foster the love of reading, to encourage creativity and the power of thought, while doing it together as a community.
