The deadline is approaching for groups to apply to take over the running of Shenstone Library.
The facility is one of 12 which Staffordshire County Council is opening up to be taken on by the community.
A number of libraries – including one in Barton-under-Needwood – have already been switched to new management.
Cllr Gill Heath, Staffordshire County Council’s Cabinet member responsible for libraries, said: “Now that the first wave of community libraries are up and running, interested groups can see that the libraries are still part of the Staffordshire family with access to support, help and advice.
“The application process is straightforward and there’s plenty of training before the transition.
“There has been some strong interest, but there’s still time, just, for groups to get in touch.”
Successful organisations will have access to the library service’s stock and IT network, while the authority remains responsible for agreed utility and maintenance costs.
Cllr Heath added: “Each library will have the freedom to develop what they offer to meet the needs of the communities they are a part of.”
