===Library===
The Sioux Center Public Library began in 1927. Its location changed many times over the years due to expanding demand and resource materials. In 1967, the library opened in a new location one block northeast of the Centre Mall. On July 23, 2003, a fire started due to [[arson]] and destroyed the library and $600,000 worth of materials in it.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=2003-08-15 |title=Arson Suspects Caught in Sioux Center Library Fire |url=https://www.radioiowa.com/2003/08/15/arson-suspects-caught-in-sioux-center-library-fire/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20241213232647/https://www.radioiowa.com/2003/08/15/arson-suspects-caught-in-sioux-center-library-fire/ |archive-date=2024-12-13 |access-date=2024-12-13 |website=Radio Iowa |language=en-US}}</ref> The library was moved to the community center while plans were drawn up for construction of a new building. Completed in September 2008, the Sioux Center Library's new location opened the door to many services – private meeting rooms, an art gallery, and many computers available for public use.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-12-02 |title=History of the Library |url=https://www.siouxcenterlibrary.org/history-of-the-library/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20241213232217/https://www.siouxcenterlibrary.org/history-of-the-library/ |archive-date=2024-12-13 |access-date=2024-12-13 |website=Sioux Center Public Library |language=en-US}}</ref>
