Queen's Park Library was built to improve the minds of the new Queen's Park Estate residents.

The Artizans', Labourers', and General Dwellings Co. built the Queen's Park Estate from the 1875 onwards on temperance principles. While the Estate was well-provisioned in most amenities, there were no public houses.

Instead, the minds of the new residents were to be improved and space was reserved on the corner of Harrow Road and Fourth Avenue for a public library. It was built by the local council.
