The Northeast Missouri Library serves Clark County, Knox County and Lewis County. Patrons who do not pay taxes to Lewis County but live and pay their taxes to the City of Canton can purchase a registration card for a small fee.
The library service has a large collection of books for adult and children. Patrons are welcome to put in requests for items that are not available on the shelves, and we will do our best to purchase or borrow from another library.
