BACKGROUND

In 1978 the voters of Oregon County voted for the Oregon County Library District to become independent of the Current River Regional Library.  The District is supported by a county property tax.  A five member board appointed by the Oregon County Commission governs it.  

Today the Oregon County Library District has five branch locations, serves over 11,000 residents, has a collection of over 60,000 books and periodicals.  In addition there are audio materials, CD's and visual materials such as DVD's and VHS tapes.  Additional materials are available through Missouri Evergreen consortium.  E-books, audio and video materials are available through Missouri Libraries 2 Go.
