In 1925 after a donation of $8000, the library was renamed to the Whelden Memorial Library at the request of the donors. This year also provided the library with electricity. Two new wings were added to the structure in the early 70s, and again in 1989. With each coming year the library continues to grow with the support of the citizens of West Barnstable.
