Fun place to visit. We played a game while we were there. Staff is wonderful.
I think this is a wonderful library. My daughter is visually impaired and she loves going there.
This library isn’t open to the public. At least that’s what I was told when I tried to walk in.
A wealth of history and knowledge! I love how passionate the librarian I talk to was about history!
resources are incredibly difficult to access for out-of-state patrons with an interest in nc history
We were able to identify several resources that were not available on line in the past, plus guidance for our next steps which should take us to Guilford County.Always helpful to use a research source with librarians and docents that can assists.
Wonderful library with tons of resources and helpful librarians
Why it matters
Go with a question.
Places like this are more than coordinates. They are where ideas become decisions, where communities keep memory, and where the words in a textbook become a room you can stand inside.
Information is presented for discovery and planning. Confirm visit details with the official source before you go.
