Quincy Library through the ages.
303 N. Adams St. 1850-1851. 2 stories, brick, center entrance porch. Housed the Quincy Academy until 1912, later served as temporary courthouse, meeting house, library, and public school.
The current library is located in the basement of the Sheriff's office/Justice Complex on E. Jefferson St. (Highway 90) near downtown Quincy. The library has around 8,000 square feet, and has seriously outgrown the location.
The NEW main library will be located at 732 Pat Thomas (route 267), between the new bank and the post office. The space will increase to 14,500 square feet, and will feature larger community and meeting rooms, more public access computers, and will have a more spacious feel. Plus, no stairs!
Projected opening date is in the Spring of 2006.
