The Joseph Dessert Library at 123 Main St. in Mosinee, Wisconsin was built in 1898 and expanded in 1928.[2] It was designed by architect Alexander C. Eschweiler.

Joseph Dessert was a lumberman who came to the area from Quebec in 1844. He worked in a sawmill at Mosinee (then called Little Bull Falls) for a few years, then bought the mill with three partners in 1949. By 1859 he alone owned the mill, and he ran it for forty years. In the interest of his employees, he sponsored construction of this library, appointed the first board of trustees, stocked it with books, and paid for maintenance for several years.[3]
