Beginning in 1960, with only a small bookmobile, our Trimble County Public Library was established into the county. It wasn’t until 1975 that a physical building, located in Bedford’s court house square, was purchased to house the library. Since then, the library continued to grow, and in September of 2010, construction began on a new building. Just a year later, in September of 2011, the library moved to its current location; taking the place of Bedford's Equity Tobacco Barn.
