History Of The Tippecanoe County Public Library
The History of the Tippecanoe County Public Library starts way back in 1882, with the creation of the Lafayette Public Library started by James J. Perrin. The collection of books were housed at the corner of North sixth and Columbia Streets in the “Old White House.” The “Old White House” was a building that shared space with the Public Schools Offices.
Over the years the library grew its collection and was moved around to several buildings until 1989 where it has reached its present location. For more information about the history of the Tippecanoe County Public Library, visit the Library’s website.
