History of the Rothschild Branch Library

The Rothschild Branch Library was established in 1949 through the efforts of the Rothschild Homemakers group and Kay Biwer, the County Librarian. Initially located in a small cloakroom within the village hall, the library soon moved to a larger space upstairs.

In 1968, a fire destroyed the village hall, prompting the construction of a new building to house both the library and village offices. By 1998, the library and the village offices both required additional space. This led to the construction of a new combined library and village hall complex, which was completed in March 1999.

As part of this expansion, the Schofield and Rothschild branch libraries were merged to create a larger facility. This new branch offered more open hours, an expanded collection, and improved services for the community, cementing its role as a vital resource for Rothschild and the surrounding areas.
