The original Estill Public Library was built
in 1934 on Third Street on land donated by Mayor W.W. Baker, Sr. It was instigated
by the Estill Reading Club with assistance by the Works Progress Administration, gifts of
materials from local lumber mills, and the generosity of local citizens. Mrs. Helen Tyler was the first paid librarian.
The Estill
Reading Club was organized in the early twenties. From
its inception until its affiliation with the Allendale - Hampton - Jasper Regional Library
Board, the Estill Library was supported and maintained by the Estill Reading Club.
Currently, the Town of Estill is maintaining the grounds and upkeep of the
Estill Library. The library is supported by
the library board members.
