[edit] History

In December 1900 the Jeffersonville Township Public Library was created ^[3] and three years later opened a Carnegie Library at Warder Park in Jeffersonville.^[4] This Library served the community until its current location was built and opened to the public in 1970. The Jeffersonville Township Public Library Clarksville Branch Library was opened in 1993,^[5] originally in an annex building for Green Tree Mall before attaining its own building, which is known for its parking lot flooding. The Jeffersonville location just recently completed a remodel and reopened in early 2007. During the remodel the main branch operated out of an extra building at the United States Census Bureau in Jeffersonville.
