Calmar Public Library was established in 1922 when the Calmar Women’s Club opened a reading room in the community. Over time, the collection and services expanded to meet the growing needs of residents. The library has moved locations throughout its history as the community continued to support and invest in library services. Through the dedication of volunteers, staff, and local supporters, the library has grown into a valuable resource for Calmar and the surrounding area.

Today, Calmar Public Library continues its mission of providing access to information, technology, and lifelong learning opportunities for people of all ages.

Calmar Public Library continues to seek new and innovative ways to meet the needs of Calmar and the surrounding communities for today and into the future.
