We are honored to have Ms. Lusk visiting the Library and speaking about her vital work in researching and preserving the history of African American communities in Bedford County!

Our 2024 started with reworking the children’s area, particularly the chapter book shelves and activity area! While our handy-dandy map for the original layout from 2021 helped navigate the shelves, we are excited to make the children’s area feel more open and accessible for patrons.
