Merced County Library





The Merced County Library System is committed to supporting lifelong learning and knowledge through self- education for all the residents and visitors of Merced County. The Library strives to enrich the lives of all users by meeting the informational, recreational, self-educational, and cultural needs of the community. The Merced County Library System provides free access to ideas and information to all citizens regardless of age, ethnic background, educational, and socioeconomic level.
The Merced County Library Advisory Commission conducts studies and makes recommendations to the Merced County Board of Supervisors concerning the on-going needs of the library and proposals for future library development.
The Commission acts as an advocate for the library. The Board of Supervisors appoints three members from each Supervisorial District (a total of 15 members) to serve a four-year term on the Commission. The County Librarian and one member of the Board of Supervisors serve as ex-officio members of the Commission.
