Charles City Branch (Heritage Public Library) - Barbara

Hi, from Heritage Public Library!  Here is a picture of our children’s story time in our Charles City branch.  Children's coordinator, "Miss Margaret", leading the children in song! Story time there is held on Monday mornings at 10:30.  We also work with the schools and are seeing pre-K and Kindergarten classes visit the library at least once a month during school hours!

Charles City Branch is currently (and temporarily -- since 2008!) housed in an unused courtroom that measures 2000 square feet. Charles City is the only jurisdiction in Virginia that has not had its own separate library facility, and our building program is currently stalled due to economic exigency.

Interestingly, Charles City is one of the original 4 shires in Virginia, and its Center for Local History (which will someday be housed with the library) has very valuable primary source material.
