Find YOUR Fun at the Lobelville Library

Lobelville is proud of its new location in the Lobelville City Hall municipal building on Main St.  Before moving to the new digs, the library was located on a side street, in a building where it had run out of room and so welcomed an opportunity to move to the new facility.

Old Lobelville Library building

With a large population of home schoolers, more room was needed for computer stations and a space for the children of their own, not to mention more room for books!   Thanks to this new space, the Lobelville Library is able to provide more programs for everyone, young and old.   The Friends of the Lobelville Library was formed after the move, and supports the library with its own programs and fund raisers.
