county libraries

Local government bookhouses

County libraries are public library systems operated by county governments, serving residents across a county's geographic area rather than just a single municipality.

They typically include a central branch with smaller branches in outlying communities, sharing collections and resources: The county library system has twelve branches and a bookmobile.
