In 1968, several community organizations formed the Bartlett Volunteer Library Association in the hope of seeing a full-service public library in the village. A library was soon set up in the Bartlett municipal building. Bartlett residents voted in 1972 to establish a library district, and in 1973 the Bartlett Public Library District opened its doors! The library district is honored to have been able to serve the people of this community for 50 years!

The Bartlett Public Library District invites you to join in celebrating the district's 50th anniversary by participating in the following events:
