It is believed to be one of the smallest Carnegie libraries ever built. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. More space for the library became necessary, and plans were made to double its size. A bond issue was passed in 1997, and fundraising included $250,000 from the Dr. Grace O. Doane Foundation. The new addition was dedicated on June 17, 2000, and the library's name now honors Dr. Doane. (en)
