The Towson Library is a landmark building in the
heart of Towson. Its expansive, contemporary, cement architecture, designed by Tatar &
Kelly Architects, adds to its prominence. While the current Towson Library building was
constructed in 1974, and expanded in 1990, the Towson Library dates back to 1936. An
exterior renovation of the building was completed in
Fall 1999.
Serving residents of the
county seat, the Towson Library offers a full array of traditional
programs and services for its diverse population, and an ever
changing wealth of electronic resources for children and adults. The
library also houses a rich collection of local historical maps and books for history
buffs.
