Mission:
The Oak Creek Public Library is dedicated to helping people of all ages and from all walks of life get the information they need to lead better lives. We provide members of the community with informational, educational and recreational materials and services of various types.
History:
In July of 1967, a community needs study was made in Oak Creek with the result being a proposal for establishment of a public library. The Friends of the Oak Creek Public Library was formed in March 1969, through the efforts of a concerned neighborhood group known as Edgewood Citizens Council (ECCO), a civic minded group organized to promote the common good through education, discussion and active participation.
Largely through efforts of the Friends group and the Library Board, citizens of Oak Creek voted their approval of the referendum that the city sell bonds to construct and equip a municipal library.
