Library History
Read how this library was established and how it has evolved to become such an important part of our community. The Spirit Lake Public Library is getting ready to celebrate its 100th birthday on September 24, 2012.
On July 1, 1990, the Spirit Lake Public Library's current location was opened and officially dedicated. The librarians would like to ask the community for any historical items, memorabilia, news clippings, pictures, etc of the Carnegie Library and the current location as we are working on a display for the upcoming birthday. Please contact the library with any information or items we may borrow.
