The Yukon Public Library is a brick-and-mortar Colonial Revival structure located in Yukon, Oklahoma. It was the original public library for the city of Yukon, constructed in 1927 for $4,500 raised by the Yukon Ladies Library Club. ^[3]

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]
