About Us
The Jennie D. Hayner Memorial Library opened on May 21, 1891. The architect for the building was Theodore C. Link, designer of the Union Station Railroad Depot in St. Louis, Missouri. Between 1891 and 1970, the building housed the entire library collection. In 1970, it became the Children's Library and in 2011, the building opened as the Genealogy & Local History Library.
