Friends of the Library

Friends of the Library Our library is a local city library offering wifi, audiobooks, books, DVD's, reference books, etc. Come see us or check our page for services offered.

The Seymour Library was established in 1929 in a small building just off the North West corner of the square that is presently the home of the Arts Council, Greater Seymour Area Foundation, and the Greater Seymour Area Chamber of Commerce. The new facility is centrally located and is within walking distance of the YMCA, Seymour grade school, middle, and high school. The original facility was home

to about 200 books and library materials. Our library now offers in excess of 13,000 items for patrons to use. The new library was built entirely through donations raised primarily in the Seymour community. In 1993 Blaine Childress, a Seymour native, provided $300,000 for the library to earn income for operational expense. Fundraising efforts then began and the community raised the matching $300,000 to construct the library. Ground was broken in the October 1997 and the library was complete and open for business on August, 1998. Featured at the library is a state of the art computer system with high speed T1 lines to deliver internet service to eight computers available for use in the library. The card catalogue is fully accessible from the computer with a searchable database. Inter-library loans are offered through the Seymour library using Missouri Evergreen, which provides over 5,000,000 items available for our patrons to check out. You will find offered not only books, but audio books, video, large print material, magazines, reference and a children’s section with a wide variety of materials.
