Drop by the library during Christmas in Centerville!
From 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 7th, we will have some great events for people of all ages!
We’ll be reading Christmas picture books by the tree and will continue our new tradition of making holiday cards for nursing home residents. Help us make this season merry and bright for our community!
Carolyn LaFever will be setting up on our first floor to do a book signing for her newly published She Never Failed Me: Lucinda Burbank Morton: Indiana’s First Lady of the Civil War, copies of which will be available for purchase during this time.
The Friends of the Library will also be hosting a book sale so everyone can shop for inexpensive Christmas gifts or treats for themselves!
The book sale will be in the library’s basement, accessible from the first floor of the library or the side door on First Street. All other activities will be held on the first floor of the library.
Wireless printing is now available at the Centerville Library through the Princh interface! You can print from your personal computer or any other mobile device and pay with a credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. We hope this makes printing easier for all of our patrons!

Notice is hereby given to the taxpayers of the library known as Centerville-Center Township Public Library (the “Library”) that the Wayne County Council (the “Council”) will meet in the Wayne County Administration Building at 401 East Main Street, Richmond, Indiana, at the hour of 8:00 a.m. (local time) on May 1, 2024, to consider the following additional appropriation which the Board considers necessary to meet the need existing at this time:
An appropriation in the amount of $1,215,000 on account of the renovation of and improvements to Centerville-Center Township Public Library, including site improvements and the purchase of equipment and technology, including the incidental expenses necessary to be incurred in connection with said project. The funds to meet such additional appropriation are to be provided by the sale of real estate to a not for profit Library Leasing Corporation.
The foregoing appropriation is in addition to all appropriations provided for in the existing budget and tax levy, and a need for such appropriation exists by reason of the inadequacy of the present buildings to provide necessary library facilities in the library.
Taxpayers of the Library appearing at said meeting shall have the right to be heard in respect to said additional appropriation.
Dated this 17th day of April, 2024.
