The wait is over! We can't wait to see you on Monday! #youbelonghere
We are elated to announce we will reopen our doors to members Monday, December 2. We cannot wait to welcome you back into our new and improved Library! We now occupy oth the 11th & 12th floors of 414 Walnut Street and have more seating areas, more workspaces, more light, more bathrooms, more bookshelves, and, most importantly, more books.
We’re working hard to get the Library ready for you, but as anyone who has ever moved into a new house knows, it will take time to get fully settled. Thank you for your patience as we find a spot for everything...
Important Announcement: Beginning Monday, November 4, the Mini-Merc will be CLOSED as we work on moving back home. Phone service will be intermittent, for best response, please email info@mercantilelibrary.com
Discussion groups and other previously scheduled programs will run as planned.
Opening Announcements are coming soon...

Last night, we had the incredible honor of having two-time National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward as our 2024 Modern Novel Lecturer hosted at The Cincinnati Museum Center.
She captivated the audience when her powerful storytelling intersected with the lovely drawl of her Mississippi accent and left us all deeply moved.
This summer, our in-house book club, The Black Experience Book Club (BEBC), dedicated three months to exploring Jesmyn Ward's works. During this deep dive, we uncovered the rich layers of her Black Experience in America—an unforgettable journey for our members.
Interested in joining BEBC? We meet every 3rd Monday, January through...
