The Potter County Free Library opened in 1922 and the city took charge of it in 1940. It was the first county library in Texas to have it's own building. It is now part of a larger city complex. It is located at the corner of South Taylor and 6th Ave. The prairies school style building cost $25,000.00 to build. It was added to the Recorded Texas Historic Landmark List in 1996. The cornerstone lists the architects as Smith & Townes and the contractors as W. M. Rice Construction Co.
