From the Sibley Public Library website:
In 1874, a Library Association was formed. To join, a member had to pay either a dollar or donate books worth that amount. The books were kept in the County Recorder’s Office…
In 1915, a new library was assured because of a Carnegie grant of $10,000. Harris L. Emmert, Sibley’s first banker and land company owner, donated the site. The Sibley Public Library was dedicated on December 11, 1917. The dedication program was held in the opera house and was followed by a reception in the new library building. [1]
