History of the Sutton Memorial Library

In the early 1900's a Woman's Club was organized by 25 women of Sutton. Each of these members paid $1 into a general fund which was used to purchase books. Circulation of the books was at first restricted to the 25 members, but as time went on, and with further organization, circulation was expanded to include approximately 100 people. In May of 1907, these 25 women became convinced that the expansion of the library was was developing to such an extent as to make it burdensome for them to continue to operate as they were. The, therefore, asked the City Council to take over the operation of the library, to make it a public library, operated by the City as provided for by the laws of the State of Nebraska. In June of 1907, the City Council passed an ordinance taking over the library as provided for by the statutes of the State of Nebraska, and a tax was levied for support of the library. In January, 1908, bylaws were adopted and a charter was granted by the Nebraska Library Commission establishing the Sutton Public Library. After the City had taken over the library the problem of a suitable building in which to locate it confronted the City Council, as the law stated that a building shall be provided. It was decided that the library be located in the Burke Building. In February, 1909, a committee was appointed to contact Mr. Andrew Carnegie regarding the construction of a Carnegie Library Building. Word was received that Mr. Carnegie would donate $5,000 towards construction of a new building, so a ground site was purchased by public subscription and deed given to the City. In 1910, the Carnegie Library Building was constructed in Sutton, NE. This was the location of the Sutton Public Library for over 50 years.

In April of 1966, the library board requested that a study be made of the general condition of the library facility. The report that was filed addressed a number of problems, both on the exterior physical and interior physical condition of the Carnegie Building. It was concluded that major renovations would be needed and that "the amount of money required to completely restore this building would not be money wisely spent". In 1967,the building was condemned and the library board began searching for a location for a new library building. In 1969, it was determined that the library had to move out of the Carnegie building immediately, and with still no funding or location for a new building, it was decided that the library, temporarily, move into the A.W. Lewis Jewelry Building which was available at that time. A down payment was made and the library books and furnishings were moved in August of 1969.

The library operated from this site until 1986, when due to a need for further expansion and handicap accessibility, a new site was sought. When a sizable donation was received from a Sutton resident, the serous search for anew site was undertaken by the newly incorporated Friends of the Sutton Public Library. A grant was applied for and received from the Nebraska Library Commission, and a successful fund drive collected the necessary matching funds. By November of 1986, the Sutton Library had purchased and moved into its new and present location, the former Sutton Lumber building at 201 South Saunders Ave. At that time, the name of the Sutton Public Library was changed to the Sutton Memorial Library, "honoring all those both past and present who have served and supported the Sutton Library with loyal devotion."

When the library moved into the Carnegie Building back in 1910, the collection consisted of 1,426 books. Today, the library's collection numbers between 16,000 and 17,000 total materials including books, videos, puzzles, audio tapes, magazines, large print materials, and several computer CD-ROM programs. The library also offers such services as computer and internet access, interlibrary loan, laminating and a photocopy machine. Another great feature of our library is our movie loan system. Not long after they are released, you can borrow new DVD’s to enjoy in the comfort of your own home. Titles the library offers include ‘Suffragette’, ‘The Intern’, ‘Creed’, and soon, ‘Pride & Prejudice & Zombies.’ Stop in today!

There are a lot of exciting things happening in our town of Sutton lately! One of the most recent and talked about projects is the new softball and baseball complex, officially named DLD Park. to learn more about the park, visit its page here.

Sutton offers 5 parks for your recreational needs. All parks contain at least one shelter with picnic benches built by local Boy Scouts.

Sutton City Park

The largest park, Sutton City Park, is located on the corner of Saunders and Ash street. This park features not only the Sutton Aquatic Pool, but also tennis courts, a large pavilion with picnic benches, a sand volleyball court, a basketball court, and an array of playground equipment for children. The pavilion can be reserved by placing a note on the board on the pavilion. Please note that reservations are first come, first served. Picnic benches cannot be removed from the pavilion. This park also contains multiple Boy Scout built shelters.

Industrial and RV Park

The second park is located in the industrial and RV Park, just to the north of the City Park. This park features some small playground equipment for children.

Sutton Lions Club City Park

The Sutton Lions Club City Park is located on the corner of Saunders and Helen, and is the former location of the city water tower. This park features some playground equipment.

Cedar and Glen

Clarks Pond, on the corner of Cedar and Glen, not only offers fishing, but also some playground equipment.

DLD Park

Lastly we have the DLD Park Pond, reachable via an access road off Cedar St, this park at this time only features the DLD pond and one Boy Scouts shelter.

Clark's Pond

Clark's Pond has been part of Sutton since the early 1900's. Originally called Glen Lake, the pond was gifted to the City in the mid 1940's. It has become a neighborhood park, and provides opportunities for families to picnic, fish, walk, and relax around a maintained .6 acre pond. Over the years silt and dirt drained into Clarks Pond, causing the pond to shallow in turn killing the aquatic habitats of the fish.

The Clarks Pond Restoration Project started in the later part of 2000, when the Sutton City Council was approached by various members of the public. Citizens complained of lack of aquatic habitat for the fish, and the lack of flood control downstream from the pond. Staff from the City of Sutton approached the Clean Lakes Restoration (CLEAR) Team for funding to help revitalize the area. The Clear Team (made up of representatives from Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality, Nebraska Game and Parks, and University of Nebraska Lincoln) gave preliminary approval and suggestions for the project.

With the aid of Olsson Associates the restoration project came to life. Engineering for the project occurred throughout 2001, and with the final application for funding from the Clear Team approved during the summer. The City of Sutton and Olsson Associates approached the Upper Big Blue Natural Resource District for funding assistance. The upper Big Blue agreed to help with the project bringing the number of entities involved to five.

Bidding on the project commenced in Early 2002, and the City of Sutton awarded the Bid to VanKirk Brothers Contracting from Sutton Nebraska. The plans for the project included expanding the surface area of the pond to 1 acre, digging the pond to 12 ft in depth, providing for vinyl sheet piling around the pond to help prevent erosion. A detention cell north of the current pond was also constructed to control flooding during heavy rain periods, and collect silt prior to entry into Clarks Pond. A wetlands area in between the detention cell and the pond was constructed to add one additional area for silt detention. To finish the area, various trees that were removed were replaced, park toys were installed, and areas for picnic and relaxing were furnished.

DLD Park Pond

The DLD Park Pond, reachable via an access road off Cedar St, at this time only features the DLD pond and one Boy Scouts shelter.
