Oxford County Social Services and Housing
(formerly the Oxford County Library)

When permission was received to move back part of the east jail wall in 1965, the County was able to begin construction on its centennial project - the County Centennial Library.

With the move to the Oxford County Library building from cramped quarters in the basement of the Court House, staff were better able to continue the work of distributing reading material to all parts of the County. A book exchange program in the schools and later a traveling bookmobile were some of the projects undertaken.

The Oxford County Library Staff has since moved to new quarters in Ingersoll but the Department of Social Services and Housing is now located in the former library building.
