Edith B. Siegrist Vermillion Public Library

About Us

The Vermillion Public Library start on January 13, 1902, when about 100 people met at the Masonic Hall in Vermilion, South Dakota to establish a public library. In 1903, funds int eh same of $10,000 were appropriated from Andrew Carnegie, and the building began to materialize. The Library has since been supported by the City of Vermillion, with contributions from Clay County. In 1978 a new library building was built adjacent to the original. We recently completed a major expansion and renovation in 2013.
