History

The Ogden Rose Public Library opened its doors on April 19, 1919. It was established by the Village Board of Trustees through a bequest from John H. and Matilda Rose. It occupied one room in the Ogden Town Hall. A second room was added later for a Children's Department. On April 19, 1996 the Town Hall housing the library was destroyed by a tornado. The Library Board applied to the State Library for a Live and Learn Grant. Through special legislation a special grant was awarded and the new library opened its doors on June 5, 1998. Rose Library is a village library. It is administrated by a seven member board of trustees elected by the voters of the village. It is funded by a tax levy of .30 per $100.00 total assessed valuation. A Per Capita Grant is available each year at $1.00 per person based on the most recent census. The library accepts donations of money, books and memorials.
