The Rapid City Public Library is the system of public libraries in Rapid City, South Dakota. It has three locations, the downtown branch at 610 Quincy Street, the North location at 10 Van Buren St (General Beadle Elementary School), and the East branch at 800 Mickelson Dr (Western Dakota Tech). The library offers standard services at no charge for citizens of Rapid City and all residents of Pennington County. ==History== Library services were first offered in Rapid City beginning in 1879, when a volunteer reading room was organized by community women with $45, donated books and periodicals, and a free subscription to the Minneapolis Journal. In an 1881 charter by the territorial government, the Rapid City Library Association built Library Hall on the corner of 6th and Kansas City Streets on donated land. In 1915, the city began building a Carnegie library building located on the corner of Kansas City and 6th streets in downtown Rapid City, and in 1917 the library collection moved there. The collection eventually outgrew the space, and in 1972 a new building was opened at 610 Quincy St. In 2002, the library added an expansion to house the Juvenile and Young adult collections, as well as provide a covered parking space. In 2008, the Rapid City Public Library opened its first satellite location at 10 Van Buren Street as part of the new General Beadle community center, housing a public elementary school and community hall. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rapid City Public Library」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
