Inscription. [English] Prior to its present location, the local library had various residencies in the town. The building of the New Liskeard Library was facilitated by a grant of $10,000 from the Andrew Carnegie Library Foundation in 1910. The new library would be a permanent and grand building for the community. The Temiskaming Shores Library now has two branches, one in New Liskeard and one in Haileybury.
