The Lethbridge Public Library includes a bookmobile service with a collection of over 16,000 titles, that travels 6 days a week to locations throughout the city and Coalhurst.

In 1910, several Lethbridge residents wrote letters to the editor and held meetings to express support for the establishment of a library.

It first opened in August of the year at the former location of the YMCA at 10 Street and 4 Avenue in the downtown core.

The first library board consisted of W. J. Nelson (chair), H. W. Meech, and Rev.

After World War II, an increase in patronage to the library resulted a period of growth.
