The Northlake Library was first established in 1957 in a storefront at 149 E. North Avenue before moving in 1959 to a brick building that had once been part of the property housing the grounds keeper of the Westward Ho Country Club, a golf course developed from farmland around the site in 1923. The library moved there as Automatic Electric Company developed a new plant on land purchased from the golf course. After the library relocated to its permanent site at 231 N. Wolf Road, the old building was demolished around 1964.
