History
1895 The first library
was known as the Dundalk Mechanics Institute. The library was housed in
various buildings.
1969 A bequest from Ruth
Pearl
Hargrave for the amount of $50,000 was given to the Town of Dundalk for
"the construction of a library in my name which must be two stories
high,
brick walls and located on Main Street East." The building was
completed in 1970.
2000 When the Village
of Dundalk amalgamated in 2000 the library's official name became The
Township
of Southgate Ruth Hargrave Memorial Library.
CURRENTLY the
Southgate Public Library is managed by a Library Board comprised of
five members who live in the community. Board meetings are usually held
on the 3rd Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. and are open to the
public.
The Librarian-CEO looks
after the day-to-day operations of the library.
