Waynesville Public Library: A Quiet Retreat with Rich Resources

Mary Cook 2

Just minutes from Main Street on Old Stage Road, the Waynesville Public Library offers a welcoming refuge for readers and researchers alike. Relax in the cozy reading room, settle into comfy chairs with the latest magazines, or enjoy a peaceful moment on the window bench in the bright atrium. Families with little ones will love the sunny new Children’s Room—a perfect place to share a story or discover new favorites.

When the weather is warm, take a leisurely stroll through the library’s beautiful gardens, lovingly maintained by the Master Gardeners of Warren County. Pause to unwind in the charming Gazebo, where free Wi-Fi keeps you connected whether inside or outdoors.

For those curious about family roots, the Ohioana Room holds a treasure trove of genealogical resources, including a rich collection of Warren County materials and books designed to help uncover the stories of ancestors who made their way here from the East or South.
