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.
