Deshler Edwin Wood Memorial Library

About Us:

The Deshler Library was started through the initiative of the Deshler Chamber of Commerce in March 1924. It was located in the basement of the Deshler School.

In 1961 Mr. Richard Jones, then Superintendent of the Deshler School, and the library board, saw the need for new library facilities. Through their efforts, and in cooperation with the board of education, the Edwin Wood legacy, and savings of the library board through levies, a new building was erected. The new building was dedicated in May 1962.

Deshler Library went to an automation system in August of 2003. We now electronically check out books. Our card catalog is now on-line along with 69 other libraries in the SEO system. Patrons with library cards may now borrow books, videos, CD’s, DVD’s, books on tape, magazine, and eBooks from the other libraries in the SEO system. Patron’s under 18 years of age must have a permission slip signed by their parent or guardian.
