Loda Township Library

Loda Township Library was first established in 1897 as A. Herr Smith & E.E. Smith Public Library. Although the Library was designed to resemble a Carnegie Library, it is not a Carnegie. Our small library is proud to offer computer access, WiFi,  e-books, inter-library loan, DVDs, and audio books.
