History

In September 1946, the Yadkin County Public Library opened in the old Yadkinville Academy building. The growing library soon needed additional space, and in 1953, it 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 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 ceremonies were held on January 21, 1971. Construction began immediately, and on November 30, 1971, the new library opened to the public.

The Library has kept steady pace with the rise of electronic information. An automated circulation system was installed in 1986. The library is an e-NC Public Access Site for Internet access.
