North Hall Library was originally constructed in 1878, with renovations in 1891 as the Women's Dorm on Mansfield Campus. For years, the upper floors served as the women's dormitory with the ground floor serving as a cafeteria. The building closed in 1975.

Merging three libraries into one, the first four floors of North Hall now serve as the main library for Mansfield University and numerous communities throughout the region. Reopened in September of 1996, the library provides a unique blend of Victorian-era architecture and state-of-the-art technology. Although it is a building from the past, it is truly a library of the future.
