History of the Llano County Library origins to 1960s
The Llano County Library began in 1901 with the Woman's Culture Club pushing funds and books. It opened as Clopton Library in 1904 and moved to a county-run system in 1939, aided by PWA labor and club funds. The Bookmobile arrived in 1958, followed by state post demonstration book grants boosting volumes to about 12 000 by 1961 and beyond.
