The Ohio County Public Library, located in downtown Wheeling, West Virginia, is the state’s oldest tax-supported public library, serving the community since 1882. Originally founded as the Wheeling Public Library, it has grown from a small, single-room collection into a vibrant hub for education and lifelong learning. Today, the library offers far more than books, including digital resources, local history archives, public programs, workshops, and community events for all ages. Deeply rooted in Wheeling’s history and civic life, it continues to serve as a welcoming gathering place where residents can learn, explore ideas, and connect with one another across generations.
