The New Milford Public Library was established through a special act of the Connecticut General Assembly in 1893, as the result of land donated by Egbert Marsh, a New Milford citizen, for the purpose of providing the Town with a free library and Memorial Hall. In 1896, Mr. Marsh put $10,000 in trust towards the construction of the Library building, to be situated on the original plot of donated land and the adjacent corner plot on Main Street and Whittlesey Avenue, purchased by the Town from Mr. Marsh the same year. Construction of the Library began in 1896 and was completed in 1897. The Library opened its doors in 1898.
