About the Library
The Wayne County Law Library Association was incorporated on June 30, 1903, in Wooster, Ohio. It was organized “to acquire and maintain a library of legal books and periodicals for the use and benefit” of the Wayne County Judges, officials, and members of the Wayne County Bar Association. Currently, the Library provides legal research materials and tools for its members and statutory users. In addition, the Library is available for use by the general public in a limited setting.
The Library is located on the third floor of the Wayne County Courthouse in Wooster, Ohio. It contains Ohio and federal statutes, case law, treatises, legal periodicals, and legal reference materials in a number of different media forms. The Library’s collection contains more than 9,000 volumes.
