Preble County District Library (PCDL) is a multi-branch library system that serves the various cities and villages of Preble County, Ohio. It has seven branches across the Preble County, along with the Library Administration and Resource Center and the Preble County Room (local history and genealogy), both located at 450 S. Barron Street in Eaton.
The Library Administration and Resource Center hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm.
The main library branch, located in downtown Eaton, is open Monday through Thursday, 9:00am–8:00pm, and Friday through Saturday, 9:00am–5:00pm.
The hours at the other branches vary according to location.
The Preble County District Library was formed in 1959 with the consolidation of six small, independent libraries (located in Camden, Eaton, Eldorado, New Paris, West Elkton, and West Alexandria). That year, the Campbellstown Library closed and turned their holdings over to the newly formed system. In 1961, a library was created in West Manchester; it joined PCDL later in the year. In February 1996, the library administration and the genealogy department moved from the Eaton branch into a new building (the former Traditions Restaurant) on the south end of Eaton.[3]
