Doniphan-Ripley County Library

Doniphan-Ripley County Library

The Doniphan-Ripley County Library District was formed in 1990 by the merger of the Doniphan City Library and the Ripley County Library.  It is a political subdivision of the State of Missouri governed by a nine member Board of Directors, five of whom are appointed by the Ripley County Commission and four of whom are appointed by the Mayor of the City of Doniphan.  All Board members serve staggered three year terms.  The Board levies a property tax for operation and maintenance of the District and for debt service, supervises an annual budget of around $150,000.00 per year and appoints the District Librarian.  The Board currently manages two facilities in Ripley County; the main library in Doniphan and a branch at Naylor.  Over 30,000 volumes are in circulation in the District.  The Board regularly meets on the Second Tuesday of each month at 4:00 p.m. at the Doniphan Branch.  A recent addition has been completed at the Doniphan branch and a new automation project has computerized the Library's catalog which can be assessed online at the library web page.
