Library
On November 8, 2011, City residents voted to enter into a contract with Baldwin Library for library services under a three - year contract. Baldwin Library issued the first city resident a library card on November 15, 2011. To provide easier access, Baldwin has also installed return receptacle at City Hall so residents can easily return their library materials in our community.
