Formerly
the Dwight Public Library from 1926 to 1992,
Prairie Creek Public Library
now caters to over 6,600 north-central Illinois
residents.
The
Carriage House (built around 1895) that serves as the
library's current home was a gift from the John R.
Oughton Estate.
A
plethora of modern day media -- books, magazines,
newspapers, books-on-tape and CD, music CDs, movies on
VHS and DVD -- make up the library's 30,000+ volumes.
