Elkton is proud to have South Dakota's  first school/community combined library, which was founded in 1984. The library is available to all members of the Elkton community all through the year. If you don't have a library card, stop in and I'd be happy to set you up with one! It's easy and painless and the benefits are endless! We also have an outdoor book return for your convenience.

The library is located at the south end of the school at 508 Buffalo Street.
