Description
Henryetta Public Library History
The idea for the HENRYETTA PUBLIC LIBRARY began in 1904 when an interested group of citizens, known as the Bide-a-Wee Club, formed to improve the civic life of the community. In 1905 it reorganized as the Library Club with the sole purpose of establishing a public library. The library was soon
established in a little three-room building on the corner of Sixth and Trudgeon, built by W.B. Hudson as a private high school run by Mrs. Hudson. One dollar a year was charged for library cards and teachers at the school shelved and circulated the books.
In 1910 the library came under the jurisdiction of the city and appointed a library board consisting of Mrs. W.B. Hudson, H.C. Fellows, J.W. Dorsey, H.G. Woodrow, and J.P. Fowler. In 1920 it became a free public library supported by public funds and moved to the Boy Scout building on Trudgeon Street.
