Cisco Public Library

Thu, 02/27/2020 - 12:00am

Although the Cisco Public Library was founded in 1891 by Frank Vernon, the Twentieth Century Club took responsibility for its function and funding in 1900. The library started in the Vernon home, moving to the grounds of the present day USPS, and finally to it’s current building, with its first use in 1932. The library now mostly serves older generations, according to current library Janet Hounshell, but there are more children during the summer months. An important facet of the Cisco Library is the partnership with the Meals on Wheels program; if a participant desires to borrow a book, it can be sent with the meals. There is also an ongoing book sale with all proceedings going back go the library. The hours have recently changed to only two days a week, Wednesday and Friday, 12:30-5pm.
