The Auburn Historical Society was formed to collect past stories and pictures with the resulting booklet entitled "History of Auburn." A letter from ’lyn Pignon, one of the contributing writers, mentions many of those who worked on this book, including Bertha Penn, Floyd Lorton, Orin Jenkins, Theodore Smith, Daisy Lochridge Lewis, and Johnanna Lanham.
History of Auburn is 64 pages of narratives, accounts and photographs. You can download a PDF copy here.
The Auburn Public Library believes in knowledge, enjoyment, inspiration, and creativity. The staff live out this vision by providing a wide range of services to the community. Home-bound delivery is available to those who are unable to leave their home. Book Club meets once a month to discuss the group’s selected book. Chess Club and Pokémon Club are favorites among the teens. Storytime is eventful as children bring their lunches to eat while enjoying crafts and a story. The library is also a host to community donations such as glasses, fleece for blankets, supplies, box tops, and much more!
Books, DVDs, audio CDs, magazines, video games, and educational kits are available for checkout. If an item is not available, patrons can request items from other libraries through the inter-library loan
Four computers are available for use as well as free WiFi. Patrons can print, make copies, laminate, or fax documents for a small fee. Scanning documents is free.
The library also has a small community room that is free for public use. Patrons must call or visit the library to reserve the space. Reservations can be done up to three months in advance.
To keep informed of everything going on at the library, you can follow them online.
