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 (a local tax on stocks and bonds). [1]

Leo Meirose, Director of the library system from 1982 to 1989, [2] 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.
