The Library Today

a note from the  librarian

The Kirwin City Library is still located in the old fire house portion of the city building on the west half of the main floor.  There are approximately 11,000 volumes of books in circulation.  Five public access computers are available in the east portion of the lower story.  Our newly renovated genealogy room is located in the east foyer.  The library maintains subscriptions to ten monthly magazines as well as a periodical, the Phillips County Review.  New children's, youth, and adult books are added every month.
