The 20,000 square foot LaPrade Library opened at its current location in 2001 when it moved from its original 8,000 square foot building on Hicks Road. The building was renovated and reopened in 2026. The building is named for Mary Ann Harmon, who devoted her life to the improvement and support of public libraries in Chesterfield County and the Commonwealth. She served as the chair of the Library of Virginia Board (2000) and president of the Friends of Chesterfield County Public Library (1986–2003).
