The Rossland Public Library was founded in October 1939 by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. It served the community in a storefront until moving into the basement of the Rossland Courthouse, taking over the old jail from the liquor store. In the early ‘80san old garage was renovated to become the current building. The building was renovated in 2018.
The Library is a public library association. Funding comes from the municipal and provincial governments and a non-profit association operates the library. Anyone with a Rossland library card is a member of the association. The library serves Rossland residents, roughly 3,700 people, and has annual visits of 50,000 per year.
