Richard H Thornton Library

Great place to check out every book you can think of and more. Lots of fun activities for everyone. They have dvds to rent and games to play even. I just love taking my daughter there and picking out a new book or 2 for the weekend. So fun. Check em out.

The library itself is lovely - the Wifi is a bit wonky and kinda slow, but I don't usually go there to use the Wifi. The NC Room - this is why I visit this library. Mark Pace is kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and one of my favorite people. The room itself is chocked full of maps, family histories, Granville County history, primary sources, and the like. Whether you are looking for something specific (for which I recommend asking Mr. Pace - he knows the space like the back of his hand) or just browsing (there are a couple tables where you can set up and work in silence if that's what you'd like), this is the place for you!

Granville county eliminated late fees for overdue books some time ago. Evidently they also supply "no fee" feminine hygiene items as well. It's a clean and nicely run and maintained library and I've used their fax and copier services several times for which I'm thankful. The staff are always very helpful and friendly.

I had some time to kill today so I stopped into the library to check it out. I was impressed by some of the non-book offerings they had available.

Very Clean Knowledgeable staff Great programs (seed info class & gardening)
