On December 10, 1926, Kirkwood Public Library became the first tax-supported library in St. Louis County, when Kirkwood citizens approved a tax levy to support the library. It is for this reason that we celebrate 1926 as the founding year of the Kirkwood Public Library. Mrs. Eugenia Becker was hired as the first Head Librarian.
