Yankton Community Library

Yankton Community Library, founded in 1903, holds the distinction of being among the oldest public libraries in South Dakota.

With a collection boasting an impressive 84,000 items, from books and newspapers to DVDs and music CDs, Yankton Community Library stands as a beacon of knowledge and entertainment for the local community. Its evolution over the years reflects a deep-rooted commitment to fostering learning and enriching lives through access to a wealth of resources. A visit to this historic institution promises not just a glimpse into the past, but a gateway to a world of discovery and enlightenment.
