Choctaw County Public Library (Hugo)

Choctaw County Public Library was established in 1909, as a borrowing collection held in the Mayor’s home along with other homes in the community.  Later, a formal library was established in 1912 by local citizens with donated books.  In 1932, we moved into a multipurpose WPA building.  Fast forward to 2004, when we moved into our new home, a 13,500 square foot, 1.1-million-dollar facility funded by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation.

Our branch follows the community theme of Circus.  A bronze sculpture lines the way to our Children's area with circus programs, a baby elephant, pet dog and grandchildren from the town.  The circus wagon is a perfect place to read or take pictures of the kids. Monkeys and animals watch over the Children’s computers and books next to the young adult reading area. Inspirational, Oklahoma, Adult, Biographies & Large Print have special places, along with Audio's & DVD's. The meeting & conference rooms are public along with our Genealogy room and computers.  We also have an active Friends group that is always seeking new members.

Additionally, we have a time capsule, due to be opened November 16^th, 2057.

Our meeting room facilities are managed by the Choctaw County Library, Inc.  For more information on booking our meeting facilities, call 580-326-3926 or contact the library.
