The library started small as a space in the Quaco Museum back in 1972. A Society member, Betty Thibodeau took on the role as volunteer librarian and held the position until her death in April 2016. As the library grew, the only solution was to move it to a "paint shed" behind the Museum which had a solid cement floor. Dorothy Headley donated all of her books and gave the Society substantial donations to help pay for the lights and heating in the building. The Library continued to grow and Rob Moran, President launched a three year fundraising campaign in 2005 to raise fund to double the footprint of the Library.
Betty devoted her life to the Library - to the extent that it was generally referred to as "Betty's Library". In August 2016, after Betty's passing, the Board passed a unanimous resolution to name the library "Betty Thibodeau Library".
