LIBRARY UPDATES

Please make note of our new email address

Due to the unpredictable Ohio winter weather, the executive board has once again decided to close from December 22, 2023 until March 1, 2024. Our email will be checked periodically and phone messages as weather permits. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but the safety of our volunteers and patrons is very important to us. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year. We will see you again on Friday, March 1, 2024 at 1:00 pm. 

One of our members is looking for a picture of the Mt. Moriah Church that was located in Zane Township between Middleburg and North Lewisburg. If you have any such picture and are willing to share a copy with him, please contact the society at

(937) 593-7811.
