The Boyle County Public Library is operated through a joint venture between the Danville Library, Inc., and the Boyle County Library District. This contractual partnership is unique in Kentucky. It combines the strengths of two organizations to provide a level of public library service that neither organization could easily achieve on its own.

Library service in Danville began in 1893 with a subscription library of just 300 books. The Danville Library Board of Trustees was formed to lead a non-profit entity in 1920 to purchase property at the corner of Third Street and Broadway and sustain the library. Today, the non-profit entity oversees the day-to-day operations of the library under a contract with the public library district.

Boyle County Library District
Under the authority granted by the state legislature in KRS 173, the citizens of Boyle County undertook a petition drive in 1971 to establish a library district with local taxing authority as a means of expanding library services for all Boyle Countians. The Library District Board oversees the taxing authority of the Library District and oversees the transfer of tax revenue for library operations.
