After being opened in 1896 in the North Augusta Public School, the Library soon grew to be a success. In 1913 it was moved to the teacher's room at the Continuation Public School, where it remained for some time. When the use of the library died down, a bookmobile taking books around the area was introduced, as a last attempt to bring patrons back. The plan was unsuccessful, and the library closed in 1974.

the present public library began in Cardinal as a mechanics' institute in the late 1880s, occupying the upper floor in the building at the northeast corner of Lewis and John Streets. Late, in order to qualify for a provincial grant, the institute became a Public Library and we believe that it was at this time that the library and reading room were moved to a large room on the ground floor of the Harbottle residence, at the southwest corner of Dundas and Waddell Streets, in the year 1896.
