Liberal Memorial Library

The Library began as a reading room in 1903 when the Liberal Woman's Club established the first public reading room in a rented room in the old Chamber of Commerce building on South Kansas street. Books were loaned by individuals and circulated by volunteer librarians. The main librarians were Mrs. Lillian Long, Mrs. Mina Rindom, and Florence Brown, with all thirty other club members helping. The room was in operation for only three months, closing because of a shortage of workers and funds.

Kids, join us for a movie and popcorn at the library. It's rated G and is the older movie version of the Roald Dahl book where Charlie Bucket finds himself holding the final golden ticket and the opportunity to explore Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

Come and play chess at the library. We'll teach you the basics and then learn more by playing.
