  ## History
  
  The Preble County District Library was formed in 1959 with the consolidation of six small, independent libraries (located in Camden, Eaton, Eldorado, New Paris, West Elkton, and West Alexandria). That year, the Campbellstown Library closed and turned their holdings over to the newly formed system. In 1961, a library was created in West Manchester; it joined PCDL later in the year. In February 1996, the library administration and the genealogy department moved from the Eaton branch into a new building (the former Traditions Restaurant) on the south end of Eaton.
