Streamlined Navigation and Personalized Profiles Highlight Clermont Library's Digital Makeover

Clermont County Public Library (CCPL) debuts an updated website, making it easier than ever to search, browse, and connect with the resources and services that matter most to you.

The update also includes improvements to the catalog, making it easier to search and allowing personalizations.

Whether you're looking for your next great read, registering for a library event, or managing your account, our new site helps you get there faster.

Clean, uncluttered, and easy to read—our new look reflects the welcoming and forward-thinking spirit of Clermont County Public Library.

“We wanted to create a digital space that reflects the same ease, warmth, and accessibility you feel when you walk into one of our branches. This new website is a big step in that direction.”  Chris Wick, Director, Clermont County Public Library
