About the Library
The Ohio County Public Library was established in 1915 through provisions of public library laws. Originally, it was open to the residents of Rising Sun and Randolph Township alone. It has since grown to embrace all residents of Ohio County.
The Library's original building sits at the corner of High and Main Streets. It was built in 1916, giving many years of service to its loving residents. It currently houses local genealogy and history, microfilmed newspapers and vintage books. It is opened limited hours. The much-needed main building was opened in 2007. It sits on Second and Henrietta Streets, near Rising Sun High School. The bulk of the collection is found at the main building, as are reference materials, audio books, movies, computers and internet access. The main building is open nearly 50 hours each week.
Through this web site, the Library Staff and Board of Trustees endeavor to open the door to a world of information for our patrons. If you want to find information of any kind, this is the place to begin the journey. Browse the tabs across the top, flip through our links to other places, find a book on our shelves or request one from another library. The possibilities are endless and entirely up to you. We will assist your searches and travels as best we can.
