The St. Charles City-County Library District was established on August 1, 1973, when the Kathryn Linnemann Library of St. Charles merged with the St. Charles County Library District. It is governed by a board of trustees and funded primarily through property taxes. Today, eleven library branches serve residents throughout St. Charles County.
