The Wagnalls Memorial Library is a public library given to the residents of Lithopolis and Bloom Township, by Mabel Wagnalls Jones in memory of her parents Adam and Anna Willis Wagnalls. Adam was the co-founder of the Funk and Wagnalls Publishing Co. The Tudor Gothic structure is located in Lithopolis and is the site for a variety of services: programs, meeting rooms providing space for community organizations, an auditorium used for cultural arts and travelogue films, and traditional library services.

Tours of the library are available by appointment and include a description of the unusual architectural features and history of the Memorial and Wagnalls family. Special art collections are also a feature of the tour.

Local and National genealogy information, historical photographs, rare books, Funk and Wagnalls publications, Lithopolis and Bloom Township history, and other interesting items are housed here.

Paintings that were covers of the Literary Digest, the works of poet Edwin Markham, and artist John Dunsmore and other interesting exhibits are stops on the library tour.

IBM compatible PC's are available on the second floor for public use. Internet access and word processing and other programs are available.
