The St. Clairsville Public Library was organized in 1938 through the efforts of many citizens and the St. Clairsville Rotary Club.
The Library had various addresses until 1955, when the Second National Bank Building was purchased and renovated as a permanent home. Dr. Bertha Hunt Schaffer made a bequest in honor of her parents, Dr. and Mrs. William Hunt, for the purchase of a building to house the Library, and on January 8, 1955, the Library dedicated the "Hunt Memorial Library Building".
Since that time there have been two additions to the building. Wilbert Allen generously contributed to combine with The Hunt Fund to make an addition in 1963; and in 1985, federal funds were secured to add to community donations, funds from the Wilbert Allen estate, and the Hunt Fund for another addition.
The Library is housed on two levels, with a multi-purpose room and offices in a third lower level. It is located on Main Street, across from the Belmont County Courthouse, and the Library is a contributing structure in the St. Clairsville Historic District.
