The first public library in Webster, New York was built in 1929. At that time it was housed in a single room of the high school, and had a collection of 657 books. In 1957 the library was moved to the Emil Reitz building on Main Street in the Village of Webster and in 1959 the library relocated, once again, to a new facility in a wing of the Town Hall on Ridge Road. The library was moved again in 1975 to 1 Van Ingen Drive, which is located behind the current Town Hall complex. The Webster Public Library moved to 980 Ridge Road in the old Ames building which was across the street from the library's old Van Ingen Drive building. In 2016, the entrance moved from the south side to the north side of the Webster Plaza. It is now accessible from Van Ingen Drive. The address has stayed the same.
