Early Library History by Lillie Leppen

The Ellison Library was a gift to the Village of Scandinavia. It was housed in the Scandinavia Union High School. It consisted of books, a desk, three tables all with thick glass sheets for tops and thirteen oak chairs to go with the tables. The furniture here mentioned was purchased by the Woman's Club with money given by Mr. Lewis Ellison.

When the school system became part of the Iola-Scandinavia Schools (1960) this library was moved to the multi-purpose room at the Lutheran Church.
