The Canton Public Library began in 1874 when Mr. Frank Webster, and other members of the Grand Army of the Republic, requested from the Town the amount of $500 to purchase books.
The Mission of the Canton Public Library is to provide residents of Canton with access to the best available intellectual, cultural, and recreational resources and opportunities to encourage a lifelong love of learning and reading, support educational success, enrich their quality of life, promote community participation, and preserve Canton’s unique heritage.
