Fanny M. Bair, a member of one of Vicksburg’s pioneer families, built this library and presented it to the Ladies Library Association on November 21, 1902. Charles A. Fairchild of Kalamazoo designed the building with “modern conveniences” like electric lighting and running water. The Ladies Library Association administered the library until ownership was transferred to the village of Vicksburg in 1948.
