Description
BCPL History
Before 1974, Boone County residents had no public library to call their own. When people needed information or wanted a book, they went to Covington or Cincinnati. Most people did without.
Beginning in the early 1940s, various citizen groups tried to garner enough public support establish a full-service, county public library. Each attempt met with defeat until 1973 when a citizen organization called ABLE (Association for Boone Library Encouragement) mustered its forces and took to the streets.
With the endorsement of civic and business groups throughout the county, ABLE successfully collected the required number of signatures to place the question of a library tax on the ballot. In the months leading to the election, ABLE members and supporters canvassed the county, promoting the benefits of a public library and answering questions. On November 6, 1973, the voters of Boone County voted to establish the Boone County Public Library District.
