[1] The main branch is located in downtown Brooksville and was dedicated as the Frederick Eugene Lykes Jr. Memorial Library in 1950.

However, the city rejected the offer due to a lack of finances, and the Woman's Club maintained responsibility for the library.

In 1949 the county purchased property in the city of Brooksville to establish a permanent facility – which still operates as the main branch of the library.

[9] In response to a population boom in the 1980s, the West Hernando branch of the library was built and dedicated in 1985.

It was intended to be established as the headquarters and be named after Harold G. Zopp, a prominent land developer with the Deltona Corporation.

Instead, the emergency services building was named after Bierwiler, and the Harold G. Zopp Memorial Library opened in 2006.

[15] Earlier in 2006, the East Hernando Library in Ridge Manor, FL relocated from a storefront in the Sunrise Plaza shopping center to a new 8,500-square-foot building.

[17][18] The materials were suspected to include: Mission to Moscow by Joseph E. Davies, The Soviet by Albert R. Williams, Russia and Japan by Maurice Hindus, People of the USSR by Anna Louise Strong, and various magazines and pamphlets such as The Nation and New World Review.

[24] Digital resources include language learning, genealogy, craft and arts classes, and job skills training.

The fire was deemed suspicious due to the fact that some of the wicker furniture from inside the library had been piled up against the back porch door.

[27] The suspect accepted a plea deal with the following terms: 8 years in prison, pay back roughly $590,000 to Travelers Insurance and $25,000 to Hernando County.
