The Livermore Community Library was founded in 1984. It is funded by the City of Livermore and the Livermore Woman's Club.  The Library has been approved as a 501(c) (3) foundation that can receive tax exempt donations to fund and enhance its purposes for readership throughout the community.

The building housing the Library is a historic building.  It has housed a Barber Shop, a Soda Shop, a retail Television Sales store and the Livermore Post Office.  It is the only Library in the entire state of Kentucky that isn't funded by either County or State grants.  This is a point of pride for Livermore.

The Library has recently undergone renovation.  An elevator has been added to the facility and new computers are now available.  There is new carpeting and the library has been totally repainted.  All of the books have been culled and new books have been added to the collection, providing a wide variety of subjects from which to select.  The Livermore Woman's Club has completed the process of re-sorting through all of the books and replacing them  on the shelves, according to approved library standards and the Library is once again open to the public.  

Additionally, the second level of the Library features a Museum displaying artwork including paintings by local artists and exhibits of historic photographs.
