Following John Harrold Chambers’s death, in 1971 a Committee comprising Gawler Service Club members was formed to honour John by creating a Memorial Reference Library. Committee Members included Lance Hatcher, Brian Thom, Ken Brereton, Elmars Senbergs, Kevin Eckert and Frank White, and met at Brian Colton's home in Jane Street, Willaston. Donations were sought from the community and the several thousand dollars collected was used to purchase many technical reference books. These books were presented to the Gawler Institute and placed within an appropriately sized bookcase in the Library.
