We are not just a men's association. The library was originally started in the 1870's by the Young Men's Debating Society in Ware. They petitioned the State Legislature to be allowed to use their collection of books to start a library that would be owned by the Young Men's Library Association but funded by the town of Ware, so we honor them in our name. Anyone is welcome to come in, regardless of gender.
I'm honestly not sure why it's named that, but it's a unisex public library lol. The head librarian is ms. Heidi, and then there are the 3 ms. Kathy's.
