Powhatan County Public Library The current library was constructed in 2001 and the building was dedicated on November 3, 2001. The Library is a department of the Powhatan County government.

The Powhatan County Public Library was first organized by volunteers to serve the residents of Powhatan on April 13, 1975 and was officially recognized as the County’s Library by the Powhatan Board of Supervisors on May 9, 1988. It is locally funded through a revenue appropriation made by the Board of Supervisors of Powhatan County, Virginia. The Library also receives state aid funding from the Library of Virginia. The purpose of the library is to acquire, organize, provide access and offer guidance to a broad range of information, materials, and services. Primarily, this mission is to encourage their use to help fulfill the intellectual, educational, social, cultural, community, and recreational needs of all people in the County.

Back by popular demand, from now until the end of October, stop by the library for a spoooooooooky scavenger hunt. Pick up a sheet at the front desk and hunt around the library for different ghostly friends, and then turn your finished sheet in at the front for a positively haunted goody bag! Can you find all of the library's ghosts?? 👻👻👻

What is a Silent Book Club? Glad you asked! 📚

In this book club, you won’t be assigned a book, you won’t feel the pressure of being asked questions, and you won’t have to interact at all—unless you want to!

Need a break from the kids and want to finish your book in peace? This might be just what you’re looking for! ☕📖

We’ll meet in front of the fireplace at the Library at 5:30 p.m. on November 17 and every third Tuesday of the month thereafter. We can’t wait to see you there!
