The Kirkwood Library opened on May 10, 1924, with patrons checking out 38 books that first day. This first library was considered private in that it was not supported by tax dollars. The original collection was located on the top floor of City Hall. Downstairs were City Hall offices and jail. These three images depict City Hall as it looked circa 1924 and 1942, as well at the library’s interior circa 1930.
