McMillan Library is a national leader among public libraries offering special programming and exhibitions for all ages. In 1996, McMillan was honored by the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution for the Library's 20-year tradition of hosting Smithsonian traveling exhibitions. Special events happen year round at the library. The Library's Adult Concert Series, Library Commons and browser oriented collection are in keeping with the public library's oldest traditions, but also in the forefront of progressive librarianship. McMillan for librarians explains some of these projects and services. A photo tour of the library is available.

The Library was founded in 1890 and was formerly the T.B. Scott Public Library.
