The Yukon Public Library is a brick-and-mortar Colonial Revival structure located in Yukon, Oklahoma. It was the original public library for the city of Yukon, constructed in 1927 for $4,500 raised by the Yukon Ladies Library Club.[3]
The club continued to financially support and operate the library until 1979, when the city of Yukon assumed responsibility. A new library was constructed and opened in 1980, and the old library building was used as a utility shed and storage. The Yukon Chamber of Commerce currently occupies the building.[4]
