The West Carrollton Branch Library is an active member of the Regional Readiness Coalition, working closely with the West Carrollton school system, local childcare centers, and families to build and maintain literacy skills in the children of our community. Our partnership with I Am Boundless supports and maintains Little Free Libraries at the YMCA and Wilson Park, and provides monthly programming for patrons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We partner with the City of West Carrollton on safety programs, community events, and celebrations.
The expanded and renovated West Carrollton Branch opened on October 22, 2018. Enhancements include a cozy fireplace as well as two study rooms, a conference room, and a large meeting room.
