The establishment of the library was the result of the efforts of many Groesbeck citizens working together to provide a much needed service for the community. On September 1, 1977 the Maffett Memorial Library was awarded membership to the Central Texas Library System, a membership which the library still maintains today. The library quickly outgrew its residence at city hall and on March 1, 1978 moved to the Housing Authority Headquarters. Once again, the library quickly outgrew its location and plans for a new library building began to form. Mr. Harold Maffett donated half a city block as the site for the future library building. The Chamber of Commerce as well as many local clubs and private citizens contributed financially to the library building project. On August 18, 1981 the Maffett Memorial Library opened its doors in the current location. Throughout its 28 years, the library has received generous and unending support from the Groesbeck community.
