The first city library opened in the Storzbach Building in 02/1913. Next, its collections were moved to a former school in the City Park, and subsequent to this to an American Legion Hall. With the demolition of the Legion Hall, it relocated to the Neeb Building, which itself was razed c. 1959. In that year, this first purpose-built library was included in a larger county office building.
