History: Officially opened on April
6, 1944, the library was first housed in the Birch building and was the fourth
library to open in the system. Mrs. Louis Cruikshank was the first Branch
Manager. With the growing population and the demand for a larger library
collection, the need for a new, larger building was apparent. In 1957, the
library moved to a new building at 102 W. Harrison Street. Circulation
continued to grow and by 1970, it reached 2,000 books per month. Thanks to
the passage of the Capital Improvement Bond Issue in 1989, the library was
completely renovated. Work was completed and the library reopened in May,
1993.
