A new space for a small but growing library where we can post what's happening in our corner of the state. The North Bingham County District Library is located in Shelley, ID.
The first Shelley City Library was opened to the public in December of 1933 in the balcony of the local drug store. Over the next 60 years the library moved a total of seven times from an old basement, to a cabin, and even a bank. Support for the library relied heavily on both community and private donations of time and money.
The library became a tax-supported district library in 1992. Five years later it was moved into its current location, the old Jolley Building Supply store.
