The main library opened in 1921 and was housed on the second floor of the Willard city hall. The Willard Memorial Library was dedicated to the memory of the service men who served and to those who died in World War I. In the 1930s the Ohio General Assembly passed the legislation that established the Willard Memorial Library as a school district library.  The Willard City School District became its taxing authority.  The present library building was opened on April 4, 1965. The addition to the original building was dedicated on April 2, 1995. A Bond Levy was passed in 2014 and renovations began in 2015 to update and redesign the Willard Memorial Library.

The Willard Memorial Library was given county extension status in 1935 to service any area of the county not already served by a library. It has added three locations since that time: Greenwich Public Library in 1936, North Fairfield Public Library in 1937; and Wakeman Community Library in 1954.
