The Cloverdale Library merged into the Sonoma County Library system in 1967. Ten years later, the Woman’s Improvement Club decided it was time to sell the little library building and invest in a larger structure. In 1979, with funding from the county, public works, and the sale of the building, a new library was completed on the site of the former property of James Kleiser, the founder of Cloverdale.
