History:
In 1974, Jane B. Karn, the hospital's first full-time librarian, opened the Medical Library for staff, physicians, and the public.  Following her 11 years of service and her passing in April of 1997, the library was renamed in her honor to memorialize her hard work and dedication to the library and its services.

The library is still providing educational and information resources and services to the Medical/Dental staff, interns, nursing students, employees of Lewistown Hospital and the Community to this day.

The library is a member of the National Network of Library of Medicine (NLM) and we are dedicated to providing high quality information and services to health professionals and improving the publics access to health information.
