The Library is a nonpartisan institution; we strive to provide resources like voter registration forms and assistance to all citizens exercising their right to vote. Our website features links to local, state, and federal information, including resources from the League of Women Voters site and FactCheck.
As a reminder, the deadline for voter registration for the November election is October 6. For more information on dates or to register online, you can visit the Montgomery County Board of Elections website.

Libraries offer so much more than books—we are your community hub, offering diverse resources and librarians who can help you find the information you seek. A great example of a resource is Gale LegalForms, which provides free access to thousands of official legal forms covering business, personal, real estate, and federal matters. These attorney-sourced forms are state-specific and accurate. While this service makes legal resources accessible, consult a licensed attorney for serious legal issues.
The Centerville Library renovation is on schedule. The new Children’s Room is framed out in the northeast corner, including a new outdoor storytime space. The library’s ceiling banners were removed, maximizing natural light and openness. We're also adding meeting rooms and relocating the Creativity Commons makerspace here to the Centerville location. Limited browsing continues with full hold pickup available. View more renovation photos here and follow us on Facebook/Instagram for updates.
