The grand opening of the Lois Morgan Edwards Memorial Library in Marshville was on October 12, 2003. The Library officially opened to the public on October 17, 2003. Carroll Edwards, Marshville businessman, donated $500,000 to the county for construction of the building. He wanted it to be a memorial to his mother, Lois Morgan Edwards. Those funds augmented grants from Union County and the town of Marshville.

There are six computers for adults and six computers for children, in addition to four online public access computers.
