The Wake County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to change the name of Village Regional Library to “Oberlin Regional Library.”

The new name honors Oberlin Village, which was established in the late 1860s and was the largest Reconstruction-era settlement in Wake County.

In the coming weeks, we will update our website, printed materials and library signage.
