About - A brief history

In 1960, a group of residents called on their fellow citizens to collect books and raise funds, at a rate of $1 per person. The forerunner of the William G. Boll Library was born in the basement of a house at 11th Park Avenue. In 1967, architects Donaldson and Sanky were chosen to design the structure we know today on Cartier Street. Originally named the Bibliothèque des Sources, it has become the Roxboro Library in 1997 and the William G. Boll Library in 2020 who was a city councilor from 1961 to 1964 and mayor of Roxboro from 1964 to 1990.
