About

Curtis Memorial Library is located in Wheatland Iowa and serves the town, surrounding counties, and communities.  The library was started in 1950 by a ladies group called the Homemakers Club. It was located in the council chambers of city hall and operated by volunteers. From 1956-1983 Mrs. Jack Henderson was the (unpaid) librarian. In 1977 Lucy Curtis left the library a very generous bequest and the library took a long-term lease on the council chambers in city hall. In 2002 the Library Board decided to move the library to its present location. Through a gaming grant, fund raising, and donations they were able to purchase the current building and remodel it, giving the library triple the space. Beginning in 2014 the library started to organize a History Room. We have received many wonderful donations of local historical Items. This is a continuing project and we appreciate the interest in our community. We are a B-sized accredited library that participated in open access.  We have three public computers and offer WIFI access, we also offer copying, printing, faxing, and lamination for a slight charge.  We can also scan documents and have a microfilm reader for public use.
