History

In 1948 Clermont County residents approved a vote to create a public library system. A seven member Board of Trustees was appointed in 1949, and library services began in 1955, after funds were raised from personal property taxes.
Leo Meirose, Director of the library system from 1982 to 1989, was instrumental in the passage of a local levy aimed at expanding the amount of branches in the system in an attempt to provide library branch locations within 15 minutes of all Clermont County residents.
