History
Organized in the 1930’s, the Twentieth Century Study Club was the first federated Club in Hendricks. It was founded on the principles of advancing the interests of education, literature, and active community service.
The Club realized the need for a library in the community and organized the first public library in 1941 in the old city hall. Members went door to door seeking donations of money or books for the new library.
The J.W. Siverson family recognized the need for something better, and built and furnished a new building, which was dedicated on November 6th, 1966. This is the library’s current building.
