Dorset’s own Village Library. Alive with books, DVD’s, audio books, magazines and a calendar full of events for all ages.

The Dorset Book Club was founded in January 1871 with just $25.00 and a “pleasant little company of ten or twelve ladies and gentlemen”. These funds were raised by William J. Gilbert and his students in February 1870. They purchased the first books, nominated a board and hired a librarian, Miss Carrie G. Pratt. This organization continued as the Dorset Book Club until 1912 when it became the Dorset Village Public Library Association, Inc., the name we still use today.
