Jackson County Public Library is housed in a beautiful historic building. The ladies at the desk were very friendly. There are so many quiet places to sit and read. There are stairs to access the second floor or an elevator if it were needed. The bathrooms were also very clean. Love this library!

I heard a bunch of books are getting removed due to the heads of the library. When this is a public library. I understand library’s in schools but for a public library being censored just don’t make sense. Books are the voices of people and when those are banned I seems like your silencing people who speaking out on certain issues with our society

Visiting the area for a week and wife is a media specialist in Florida so always curious to observe the library investment and physical plant of other areas. So we paid a visit to the library on the mount. And wow. Just wow ! Have to agree with the previous reviewer that if there were a library Olympics, this would be the gold medalist. We've seen a lot of libraries in our travels, and this one is a gem, from the sheer grandeur of the old courthouse, to the collections and various media offerings (computers, movies, exhibits, activities, and even a seed giveaway). This is truly a wonder for a small county and demonstrates their commitment and belief in literacy for all, not to mention the wise guidance and vision of the county commissioners (or elected political leaders). Puts some

My favorite old courthouse that I’ve seen in NC. 🏆
