- The Kansas Community Memorial Library began with the efforts of interested
volunteers in 1932, with donations of books from people in the area. Memberships
for $1.00 a person were sold and the library opened on the second floor
of the Village Hall. Initially, the library board members took turns keeping
the library. In 1945 a two-room brick building was donated, and a state
charter was applied for and issued in June of that year. In November, 1945
a referendum was held to levy a library tax and to elect a library board.
This board formed the first incorporated library in Edgar County. It opened
in one room of the new building in February, 1946. In 1950 the second room
was remodeled and opened. The building has been renovated and improved
several times since then.
