Library Celebrates 95 years
By Joy | March 3, 2008
The Hardtner Public Library will be celebrating its 95th year in 2008. We have special thing planned up until our Birthday, October 8, 2008. The Hardtner Public Library was organized October 8, 1913, by a group of citizens, known as the Hardtner Library Association. A membership fee of $1.00 was charged each year and was used to purchase books. The library has had 3 locations the present building being donated by Forest Olson and now his son Brad Olson.
In 1939, as a project sponsored by the Y.W.C.A, we borrowed 50 books from the Kansas Traveling Library at Topeka. The Y.W.C.A. was instrumental in the purchase of books and remodeling projects. In 1975 a Friends of the Library Group was organized and after it disbanded, through the use of their funds the current Library was remodeled. In 1991 we received the Outstanding Small Public Library Award. In 2006 we were ranked the number 1 library in nation for libraries in our population category by Hennen’s American Public Library Ratings.
We have set some special goals for our 95th Birthday.
