Daniel Boone Regional Library

This summer marks the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Daniel Boone Regional Library system. Through this partnership, our three member library districts are able to pool resources and provide better library services to all.

At the annual "Reading Club Day" event on May 19, 2009, library staff asked 5th graders to vote on their favorite childhood picture book. This event was sponsored by Columbia Public Schools.

There's a new way to do summer reading for small groups. If you have a home day care, a 4-H group, an after-school group or other small group of kids, why not sign up for Summer Reading together?
Sign up now through June 30.

Kids from county school districts can start signing up now for this summer's Books by Snail program.

Fifty years ago, Boris Pasternak's novel “Doctor Zhivago” was the number one bestseller, Fidel Castro assumed control of Cuba, a loaf of bread cost 13¢, the hula-hoop was all the rage, Missouri was preparing to meet Georgia in the Orange Bowl… and the Daniel Boone Regional Library was formed.
