Don't have a library card?
Stop by today and sign up! Since we are a small non-profit lending library (we are not a public library or city entity), we charge an annual membership fee of only $5 per single, $10 per family (2 adults plus children).
Membership includes book, audio and movie rentals. There is a limit of 3 books and 2 DVD's per library card. Books are loaned for up to 3 weeks and DVD's 1 week. Overdue book fines are .10 per day and DVD's are .25 per day. We now have a outdoor drop box for your convenience.
We carry a large assortment of Best Sellers that you may find on hold or on a wait list for purchase at larger libraries! Book requests always welcome. We purchase new items every month.
We also offer Children's Storytime and Craft Hour the 2nd & 3rd Saturday of each month at 11am.
We have Tween Time the 4th Saturday of each month for ages 9-12. There is no charge for either program.
There is an Adult Book Review Group the 4th Monday of each month and a Needlecraft Group the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Both begin at 7pm.
We have various summertime childrens programs, including the Summer Book Contest and Summer Reading Enrichment Program. Both normally conclude with a party or surprise guest (like the Cincinnati Zoo!) We also have weekly summer field trips to the library by various local Pre-Schools.
We host an annual Book Sale each June and have many items for sale in the library on a regular basis. Hardbacks are $1, paperbacks .50 and Children's Books are .25 each or 5/$1.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us at (513) 360-0714 or email us at monroelibrary@cinci.rr.com.
We are Monroe's best kept secret but easier to find than you might realize! We are located next door to the IGA Express and across the street from Hyland Chiropractic on East Avenue.
