Built in 1847 on the site of the original hospital, The XEO Valley Library was the first public library in the region and quickly became the premier center for learning and culture. The library has collected and preserved a remarkable array of first‑edition classics including Moby‑Dick, Pride and Prejudice, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Its original reading room, with the same hand‑carved wooden desks that welcomed the first patrons, remains a living testament to the library’s enduring role as the guardian of XEO Valley's literary heritage.
