The library was first established in 1998 through the efforts of winter resident Phyllis Whitman and her husband. A small room in a building owned by Dianne Turnquest was refurbished for the use of the library. When the library outgrew the room in 2000 a request was made to the Prime Minister by Ms Whitman for an alternative site. The only space available was a room at the Primary School in Gregory Town. The room was refurbished and the new library was ready for use by 2003.
Training was provided for Ms Stacy Cartwright who was hired to be the librarian. Ms Shanta Maurice took over in 2010. After the passage of Hurricane Irene in 2011 the library had to vacate the premises as the classroom was needed because of damage to the school. New premises then had to be found for the library.
