LYONS BRANCH LIBRARY
105 Main Avenue
The Lyons Branch was established in 1926. Its first location was over the post office (Heil building). On Jan. 1, 1928, it moved to 74 Main Ave. This building was owned by C. A. Norquist. During the depression people came to the library with market baskets, not only for the cheapest type of recreation, but also for books which would enable them to earn a living in a new field. In 1954, the Lyons Young Men's Association gave the ground and $12,354.21 in cash toward construction cost. The City Council granted a tax levy for $27,389.02 and in 1955 the new library opened.
