The Wright Memorial Public Library is a destination for lifelong learning, where community members of all ages come for information, enjoyment, education, and personal growth. Because Wright Library serves the Oakwood community independently, rather than as a part of Dayton Metro Library or another library system, its services are tailored to the unique needs and interests of Oakwood residents.

Wright Library is also one of the most used libraries in America, ranking in the top 1% nationally when compared to libraries of similar size and earning it a 5-Star rating in 2020 by Library Journal. This distinction is both a testament to the value the community places on education as well as the value of the services and collections the library offers.
