History of Taber Library from 1946 to 2004
The Taber library began in 1946 when the Home and School Association collected 700 books. It opened November 9 upstairs in the fire station, moved to the fire hall in 1947, and formed the Taber Library Association. By 1963 a dedicated building cost 97 000 dollars, boosting circulation from 5 708 in 1961 to 29 941 in 1963, with volumes growing from 7 676 to 60 457 loaned items by 1991.

Taber Public Library Adapts Through Decades Of Change
The Taber library expanded services in the 80s and 90s with Beta and VHS videos, books on tape, and a shifting shift from records to CDs. An inter library loan system formed in 1992 linking multiple towns, then joined Chinook Arch in 1993, expanding access to southern Alberta libraries. A new building was planned for 2006 amid space constraints and possible relocation near the fire hall or Confederation Park.
