History of the Library

The first free public library in Troy, Ohio was organized in 1896 by members of the Alturian Club. City council set aside a room in the city building for library use. Soon the collection grew to occupy the entire first floor of the building.

Adopt A Book

Looking for a special gift for someone on your shopping list? Consider giving the gift of reading by donating to the library in honor of a loved one or friend. For a donation of $25, the library will purchase a new children's or adult book (your choice) which will be added to the library's collection. Books can be personalized with a bookplate if requested.

TMCPL Participates in "Snapshot Day: A Day in the Life of Ohio Libraries"

The Troy, Pleasant Hill, and Local History libraries--along with the bookmobile--participated in "Snapshot Day: A Day in the Life of Ohio Libraries" to capture information about how important libraries are to the state of Ohio. Photos taken represent a typical day at the library. The pictures have been added to those of other libraries across the state.  Please take a look at a typical day for Troy-Miami County Public Library and visit Flickr to see what other libraries do during a typical day.
