Galion Public Library
Description
GPL strives to enrich the lives of the citizens of the Galion area with a variety of information, services, and programming. Galion Public Library was founded in 1901. Since that time our collection has grown to around 100,000 items.
Initially the library was housed in a small log cabin, which is now located in Heise Park. The current library building (pictured at left) was built in 1904, partly with Carnegie funds, and later expanded in 1991 to create room for an ever-growing collection of materials and services.
Besides a dedicated professional staff, the Galion Public Library is also blessed with an active Friends of the Library group. The friends hold seasonal bake sales and bazaars, as well as managing the library's running book sale. The funds raised by the Friends are used to better the services provided by the library.
The library is governed by an independent board.

A patron found these abandoned little guys attempting to cross the road in front of the library. The staff enjoyed their cuteness and delivered them to the Wildlife Haven in Crestline. They are expected to thrive and be released ❤️
