- A Reading Center was started in 1985 by the West Union Merchants Association
with donated items. The Wabash-Embarras Public Library Service started
bringing a mobile unit twice weekly in November of 1985. York Township
passed the levy for taxes to support a library in November of 1986. A grant
was approved for one year until funding was received from the township.
The library is located beside the Post Office. The library has always offered
a summer reading program and the use of four public computers. In 1991
the library began a Summer Story Hour and became a member of LTLS. The
library became the West Union District Library in 1993. In 1995 WUDL purchased
the building, nearly doubling floor space. WUDL participated in an expansion
grant and has annexed two thirds of Melrose Township into the library district.
The library owns eight computers and seven offer high speed Internet.
