In 1958, the North Florida Telephone Company offered the loan of its vacant building to the High Springs Parent-Teacher Association for the creation of the first Alachua County branch library located outside of Gainesville. The High Springs Library opened at this location the following year. After years of community fund raising, ground was broken in 1976 for a new 3,000 sq. ft. library building. The second and current library location opened its doors on January 3, 1977. Children from High Springs formed a block-long human chain to move the book collection from the old library to the new one.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1047&context=flstud_pub|title = Alachua County Library District - Florida Library History Project|date = 1 January 1990|access-date = 10 November 2015|website = University of South Florida Scholar Commons|publisher = Digital Collection - Florida Studies Center Publications}}</ref>
