Norma Morel was the first librarian, and was paid ninety cents per hour. Margie Roberts became librarian in September of 1967, and Phyllis Lewis was the first person in charge of the Story Hour Program. Other assistants have helped to make this program successful. Story Hour attendance varies from seventeen to twenty-five preschoolers. The Summer Reading Program is enjoyed by many children from June through August, and Margie is in charge of it, with as many as thirty-five children participating. Other special programs added include the donated pattern service, begun in 1972, and the book drop which was installed in 1973.

In August of 1982, an anonymous gift of $20,000 was given to the Library for improving the crowded facilities. It was decided to remodel the old bank building, following the recommendations of Ralph Keller, Hill City architect. The Library moved into the finished building in October, 1983. An Open House was held April 14, 1984, with tea and cookies served by the Modem Mrs. EHU, continuing their interest and support for the Library. New equipment and furniture bought for the Library included a copier, extra shelving, tables, chairs and a settee. Without the response of the entire communities of Palco, Damar and Zurich, this Library would not have been possible. Including the original gift of $20,000, a total of $44,781.53 was raised for the building project. The Library trustees also appreciated the gift of the old bank building from the First National Bank of Palco.
