The Broken Bow public library moved into this building in 1990 when they outgrew their former location. The building was formerly part of the High School complex. It was constructed under the National Youth Administration program, and a keystone above the entrance reads NYA. The building is located at 404 N. Broadway.
A cornerstone located to the right of the entrance reads:

This is a one-story native sand stone building. The entrance is in a slightly projecting bay and consists of double glass doors, with a fixed transom, and a fan-shaped opening showing the stone wall. This entrance is recessed beneath a large stone archway. Two sets of double one-over-one windows flank the entrance. On either side of this projection, there are double sets of similar windows, two sets to the north and six sets to the south. The roof is gable and covered with metal siding.
