Moniteau County Library Official headquarters of the Moniteau County Library. Established to provide the best in books

Our small community library has grown in patrons, collection, technology and vision over the past 23 years that we have been located at 501 South Oak Street. To better reflect our mission to serve all residents of the county and our commitment to be a 21st century library, we have been renamed Moniteau County Library @ Wood Place. We are happy to serve the residents of Moniteau County in a variety of ways:

We house over 20,000 items in our collection, which includes books, movies, magazines, and more. We also offer ebooks and audiobooks through our partnership with Missouri Libraries 2 Go. We offer free educational programs for children, such as our Early Literacy Program, and we also provide free computer and wifi access. If you'd like to learn more about our programs and services, or would like to find out how to get a library card, go to our website: moniteaucountylibrary.org, or give us a call at 573-796-2642.
