The Palmerston North City Library building was originally built as the C M Ross (Rosco) department store in 1927-1928. In 1992 it was bought by the Palmerston North City Council and converted into a new City Library. Ian Athfield, the architect, maintained much of the facade and original features but the building was extensively rebuilt and enlarged to become the building it is today.
