Naming and Renaming Libraries

Regarding the Clermont County Public Library system’s library branch naming conventions, the following rules shall apply:

The branch name and signs will show in priority order:  Clermont County Public Library followed by Actual name

Example:

Doris Wood Batavia Branch

Colonel John Voll Goshen Branch

Before any consideration will be given to a name change, there must be broad-based community support.

A petition for renaming a library branch must be presented to the Board of Trustees at a regularly scheduled meeting.  The Board may accept or reject any petition for renaming a library branch after due consideration.

Any financial burden resulting from a name change shall be paid by those who petition for the change.
