Wellington Branch Library

Wellington

Experience/Attraction, Arts, Family Friendly

The Wellington Branch Library is one of six branches in the County of Prince Edward Public Library. It has diverse resources and offers a wide range of materials like books, online resources, and more. With a strong community focus, it provides free access and services to residents of Prince Edward County, not just traditional library services but also including online ebooks, audiobooks, and other digital formats. The Wellington library has a history dating back to the early 20th century, with the Women's Institute establishing a small library in the area.

Prior to 1926, there were no library facilities in the village of Wellington, until the Women’s Institute took advantage of the facilities of a government travelling library service and established a small library. Dr. Parry D. Saylor, a former Wellington resident, decided to erect a memorial to his mother, Annie Dorland Saylor, and donated the cost of a small, well equipped library to serve the village. The library has since undergone many improvements and is today a building combining historical architecture with a modern, complimentary addition. In 2008, the County of Prince Edward Archives moved to share an accessible, climate­-controlled space with the Wellington Branch.
