Potter County Free Library Reading Room
Students were able to enjoy the quiet of a public library when the Potter County Free Library opened in 1922. Construction cost $25,000 and it was the first county library in Texas to inhabit its own building. After several moves, one from the First National Bank building to City Hall, the library outgrew its space. In 1940, the library moved to the east wing of the Amarillo Municipal Auditorium, and in 1955, it moved again to the Bivins mansion at 10th and Polk until the Central Library was constructed in 1976 at 413 E. 4th.
