Republic Branch Library

"Does community make a branch or does the branch make the community? The community at the Republic branch is amazing! The staff make an effort to know everyone who walks through the doors and to make them feel welcome. The Children's department does an excellent job at knowing their youngest patrons and sharing their love of discovering knowledge with them."

— Elizabeth P.

"The Republic Branch is special because its staff goes above and beyond to help patrons and make sure they feel welcome. Everyone is greeted when they come in and shown the greatest amount of respect."

— Janey C.

"Republic’s library is special because of the warmth and knowledge of its librarians. They are always helpful and kind to their patrons, be it through helping them find materials or chatting about book recommendations if someone likes a certain story."

— Katie G.

"As an avid reader, teacher, mother, grandmother, and recently as a volunteer, I have always found the Republic Library staff to be helpful and friendly; cultivating an environment that celebrates the love of books and literacy for our community!"

— Tracy W.

Support one of the Library’s busiest Greene County branches, where readers of all ages enjoy robust programming, tech access, Business Connect services, and a welcoming environment for lifelong learning. This branch is currently under construction with a new, exciting capital project to build an entirely new 22,000 space!

About the Republic Branch

Republic Branch Library serves a growing community in the heart of the city. A new construction project is allowing the Library District to meet community needs and grow with Republic!


Last year alone, this branch welcomed over 60,000 visitors and circulated nearly 250,000 items. A new 22,000 square-foot space will double the size of the current branch and enhance usability for everyone who visits. This new space will feature a bright and spacious youth services department with designated storytime area, a convenient drive-through window for book returns and pickups, and plenty of comfortable, welcoming spaces both inside the library branch and outside with an outdoor patio and walking trail.
