Yuma Public Library
In January of 1924 twelve women of the Methodist church met and organized the Yuma Woman’s Club. The purpose of this group was to establish a public library. The Library collection was housed in closed cases at the town hall and began with just 40 books. This collection soon grew to 1200 and on January 31, 1925 the library was opened to the public. Mrs. Door Rising was the first librarian. The Library was open four hours per week.
