The Puskarich Public Library System (PPL) is a rural, public library serving Harrison County, Ohio. The library also houses the Harrison County History of Coal Museum (). The Puskarich Public Library System has two branch libraries: Clark Memorial Branch Library located in Freeport, Ohio, and the Scio Branch Library located in Scio, Ohio. == Overview == Currently, the Puskarich Public Library System consists of three service outlets. The main library is located in Cadiz and branch locations are in Freeport and Scio. On March 6, 1880, in Cadiz, Ohio a meeting was held to establish a public library; and in April, an upstairs room in A. J. McDonald’s new building was rented on North Main Street. Nancy Dewey donated $1000.00 and an additional $1500.00 raised by public subscription. The library was opened to subscribers for the sum of $100 per year in the Fall of 1880. In 1895, the library was moved to the Harrison County Courthouse. A few years after in 1910, the membership fee was eliminated and control was given to the Board of Education. Since December 1935, it has been designated as a school district library with its own governing Board. Following a nearly half million dollar fundraising campaign, the Cadiz Public Library was renamed the Puskarich Public Library when the new main library building was erected at Cadiz in 1986. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Puskarich Public Library System」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
