The William H. and Lucy F. Rand Memorial Library was originally located in one of the earlier houses built before 1878 and occupied by several different families, among them M. G. Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. William H. Rand, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Reagan and the Charles Lucier family.  Mr. Lucier also had a small woodworking shop at the rear of the house.  In the 1920’s Mr. Lucier decided to sell the place.  Mrs. Mabel Ireland, who was a granddaughter of the Rands, was visiting in the A. H. Butterfield home at the time and became interested in buying the building and converting it into a public library, which she donated to the Village of North Troy in memory of her grandparents, William H. and Lucy F. Rand.  On March 27th, 1925 William H. & Lucy F. Rand Memorial Library opened its doors to the public. The library moved to it’s present location in the Poulin Building in 2001.
