<ref>History of Darke County Ohio, V1, Frazer E. Wilson, pb. 1914</ref>On February 22, 1889, Superintendent F. Gillman Cromer started The Free School Library in a room at the East School and maintained it through funds collected from the students providing entertainment for President Washington’s birthday. By 1894, the library had moved to the McWhinney home on W. 5<sup>th</sup> Street where Josie Ford was librarian and the reference collection was maintained by Henry St. Clair. Due to the increasing collection it was determined that the community needed a larger facility. | <ref>History of Darke County Ohio, V1, Frazer E.
