The Logan Public library owes its existence to two retired principals of the Logan High school. The ladies presented their idea to the public and in November 1913 a meeting was held. The price of admission was a book and 128 books were collected. It was at this meeting that our first library board was elected and we became the Logan Public Library. Our first site was a room in the northeast corner of the courthouse.
In 1915 Logan received one of the last Carnegie Grants and the original building was built on our current site. In 1967 the basement was remodeled and a children's room created and in 1988 we doubled our space to 4,800 square feet. A new entry and elevator on the east side has made us ADA accessible.
The new addition gave us lounge and study areas as well as more shelf space on the main floor. In the basement we added a story well area to the children's room, created a meeting room with kitchenette, and handicapped accessible restrooms. The children's library was recently redecorated making it a bright, child friendly spot.
In 1993 we acquired our first computers and have continued to expand technology services for area patrons. We we are proud supply audio books and visual media along with our printed materials and patrons may also make use of our online lending of eBooks & audio books through Libby using our library.
We like to view our library as being "without walls" with our ability and desire to acquire information for our patrons. Our aim is make all who enter to feel welcome and comfortable.
