The club continued to financially support and operate the library until 1979, when the city of Yukon assumed responsibility. A new library was constructed and opened in 1980, and the old library building was used as a utility shed and storage. The Yukon Chamber of Commerce currently occupies the building.[4] Today, Yukon's Mabel C. Fry Public Library serves the community of Yukon and Canadian County.
It was designed by architects Sorey & Vahlberg of Oklahoma City.[3]
