Elyria Library Expands Reach and Services Countywide
Lorain County residents now have access to Elyria Library services with hundreds of borrowers from outside the city. The institution has faced prior financial strains but gained state tax funds support after expanding from Elyria to the county. The library traces its origins to 1862, rebuilt after a 1873 fire, and moved to a new Third Street building in 1929 where children’s services were expanded and later relocated to basement space for more room.
