Serving Camden County Since 1933
The Camden County Library District (CCLD) has proudly served the lake area community since 1933, when the Camden County Literary Guild recognized the need for a public library. What began in the basement of the county courthouse with just 645 books has grown into a vibrant library system with six branches across Camden County.
Today, CCLD offers access to a diverse collection of over 97,000 print, audio, and visual materials, along with more than 116,000 digital titles—including eBooks, eAudiobooks, streaming movies, TV shows, and music. Whether you’re looking to read, learn, or be entertained, CCLD is here to connect you with the resources you need.
We also provide services, free of charge, to Benton, Dallas, Hickory, Laclede, Miller, Morgan, and Pulaski counties.
