Library History Pioneer Memorial Library is housed in a former Gillespie County Courthouse, which was designed by Alfred Giles. The historical building served as the courthouse from 1882 until 1939 when the courthouse shifted to a new building next door. Various governmental organizations occupied the building until it was closed in 1963. Two years later, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene McDermott of Dallas funded the preservation of the building so that it could be used as a public library. It was dedicated in May 1967. In 1983, Mrs. McDermott provided a challenge for a matching grant so that renovations and expansions could be made. The community responded, and a completely renovated library was dedicated in December of 1984.
