Lewis Library of Glasgow, MO

Lewis Library is the oldest public library west of the Mississippi

Lewis Library is both a historic library and a working community library in Glasgow, Missouri. We are located in the historic building built through the generosity of Benjamin Lewis, who amassed a fortune by raising hemp and tobacco before the Civil War.

Today, we serve patrons of the Glasgow area with a large collection of books and magazines. We also offer E-books through Missouri Libraries2Go and have computers on site for our patrons.

Our historic building was the home of Lewis College and is the oldest continuously operating public library west of the Mississippi.

Restoration of our second floor is needed. The second floor was the original college library and today exists much as it was in 1891. Work is needed on the roof to preserve this treasure and to make it more accessible to the public.
