DeKalb To Get A New Library in 1918

From the October 24, 2018, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1918, 100 Years Ago.

"War days over, DeKalb is to have a new library.  At least that is the plan of the board here, the initial steps toward the new building being taken in the buying  of the lot directly north of the Christian Science church fronting Oak and Third streets.

"The lot, which is part of the Glidden estate, is centrally located and it presents unusual advantages for a library building.  The deal has been closed, all the details having been arranged."
