The MC Library is dedicated to providing the highest quality services to meet informational, cultural, educational,recreational needs of the community.
The Morgan City Public Library began in 1934 as a Women's Club project. The club attained funding and space from the City of Morgan City. Donations were solicited from the citizens, and a library was opened in the one hundred block of Everett Street. on Thanksgiving afternoon of 1934. The library continued in this location until 1951 when a tax was passed to build the current facility. In 1973, as an outgrowth of the Morgan City Public Library Local History Project, an annex was added to the library to house the Morgan City Archives, a repository of historical documents, photographs, periodicals, and microfilm unique to the history of the area.
In 2001, the Archives relocated to the Leah Norman Schreiber Center and the library expanded into the annex. The area now houses additional public computers and the Louisiana genealogy collections. The library is one of the four municipal libraries in the state.
