The Elma library became part of the Timberland library district in 1969. In September 1992, Elma residents approved a $650,000 bond issue for a new library. The bond, grants, and community fund-raising financed a 6,000 square foot library which opened June 1994.
The Elma Library has:
- Books, videotapes, DVDs, CDs, audio cassettes, newspapers and magazines for readers and library users of all ages.
- Programs for children and adults.
- Computers with access to the Internet, Microsoft Office, and online reference databases
