Warner Memorial Library

In the summer 1945, a motion was passed that would lead to the establishment of the Warner Memorial Library. A committee solicited the help of the community who responded enthusiastically. In 1945, the library was incorporated and throughout 1946, money and books were donated. The Elks Club made the ladies' cloak room in their hall available to house the 650 donated books and on March 29, 1947, the library was operating.

The Warner Lions Club planned for a permanent library building and purchased an Air Force building from the Canadian Forces Base in Lethbridge. With volunteer help, the building was torn down and set up on a donated lot. The Warner Memorial Library was officially opened January 16, 1951 as a memorial to those men and women who were the builders of the community and to those who served their country in the wars.
