Indian Church Community Library was established in 2005. The building where the library was set up used to be a teacher’s one-room house. with an agreement with the Ministry of Education, the building was donated as the community library as it was not used for any teacher’s housing}. Mrs. Laura Howard from the United States was the one who first came up with the idea of a library in the community and was the one who donated the first collections of books, she was also the one who paid for the first year of the opening hours which was Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 1 pm to 4 p.m.
Mrs. Lorena Stanchley was the first librarian in our community, and a year after the library was opened, she moved to Canada. Mrs. Sonia Arevalo has been the librarian since then.
In October 2016, Hurricane Earl hit part of Belize and damaged the entire library roof. So, repairing was needed, and it was done as part of the project. An extension to the building was done, we got a new roof, another room which is now used as the adult's room, and new furniture
