Clayton Community Library opened its doors for the first time in March 1995. It was a grand celebration following years of planning, fundraising and building re-designs. The effort was a collaboration of the Clayton Community Library Foundation, AAUW, CBCA, Woman’s Club, the City of Clayton and many volunteers.

On Saturday, March 7, 2020, the community gathered again to mark the library’s 25th birthday. Jerry Novakovich VFW post 1575 presented the colors at the opening ceremony. The library founders and many well-wishers arrived to help celebrate. Congratulations to all the people who worked hard to get it built and who continue to make it a success.
