Larchwood Library Board
Sarah Richarz, Deb Snyders, Patty Brown, Fran Honrath, Mary Van Raalte

The Larchwood Library has over 11,800 items in its collection which includes adult and children's books, videos for rent, large print books, a large audio collection,  and periodicals and newspapers.

The library has a drop box and has recently become automated.

The Larchwood Public Library had its origin in the basement of the Savings Bank building in 1927. It was promoted by the Federated Women's Club. The first library board was Mrs. J.H. Peacock, Mrs. Lee Williams, Mrs. Ralph Holtsclaw, A.D. Moreland and Erick Kiesby. In 1939 it was moved to its own building on main street. The library has grown steadily with the support of community projects sponsored by the Women's Club and with the assistance of a yearly town grant. For decades, members of the Women's Club  served as volunteer librarians.
