About the Library

 

The Milton Public Library has been serving the community since 1923. In 1932, the Milton National Bank building was purchased for $20,000 and is the current location for the library.






The bank vault remains part of the architecture that fascinates both children and adults. The building is handicapped accessible. Free parking is available in the large municipal lot in the rear.
