History

In September 1946, the Yadkin County Public Library opened in the old Yadkinville Academy Buildking.  The growing library soon needed additional space, and in 1953, moved to a new building owned by Mrs. A.H. Logan.  The Town of Yadkinville began to make annual contributions to the library after this move.  In May 1958, the library moved to available space in the new county building.

In June 1962, the Yadkin County Board of Commissioners and the Library Board of Trustees approved participation in the Northwestern Regional Library and on July 1, 1962, the Yadkin County Public Library became a member of the regional system.

After four years of planning and fund raising ground breaking cermonies were held on January 21, 1971.  Construction began immediately, and on November 30,1971, the new library opened to the public.  The Friends of the Library have updated the interior of the library with new carpet, paint and lighting.  The front landscape of the library is currently being improved through a very generous grant from the  Foothills Duke Energy Retirees and a library friend.

 

Volunteer Opportunities

Adults and young people in middle school through high school are welcomed to volunteer at the library.  Please call the library to make arrangements with the Branch Librarian.

 

Contributions

The library gratefully accepts donations in the form of money, books, memorial or honor books/items and other donations to enhance library services.

Donations in honor or in memory of friends or loved ones are gratefully accepted by the library.  At your request, each gift book/item donated or purchased with your donation willl have a special label which gives the name of the person to whom the book/item is dedicated and the name of the donor.

The library gladly accepts donations of books, DVDs, audio material and other items with the understanding that the items may be used in the library collection or used for whatever best serves the library.  We do ask that the items be in fair condition.  Upon request, the library will provide written acknowledgement of your charitable contribution.  Items may not be left outside of the library, but must be delivered during hours the library is open.

The Northwestern Regional Library is pleased to announce an exciting fundraiser for e-books.  Two local artisans donated a colorful batik sampler queen-size quilt to help raise funds for the thirteen member libraries of the Northwestern Regional Library.  The quilt was donated by Carol McDowell who pieced the quilt and is a member of the Elkin Library Board of Trustees.  Amy Askins of Mount Airy quilted the work of art.  The quilt was awarded in the Blue Ridge Quilt Festival in Blacksburg, Virginia.  Tickets are available for a donation of $1.00 per ticket or six for $5.00 at any NWRL library in Alleghany, Stokes, Surry or Yadkin counties.  The quilt will be displayed at NWRL branches until June 1.  Please check our website under the Regional Headquarters “What’s Happening” page for the full location schedule.  The raffle will be held Saturday, June 1 at Lone Hickory Arena in Yadkinville in conjunction with the second annual Ride for Readers.  Other events for riders and guests include food, music, bike and car show, equestrian flag demonstration, wine tasting, and other events.
