We would like to thank the Appomattox Railroad Festival for the library’s third place trophy in the window and statue display category. We love being a part of the town and county as we serve Appomattox from our location on Main Street.

We would like to remind everyone that in order to check out materials you must have your library card or valid photo ID. This is for the protection and privacy of our patrons’ accounts, and we thank you for your understanding in this matter.

A huge thank you to Women of the Moose who gave the Appomattox County Library Association (ACLA) a generous donation to be used toward the purchase of an “AWE Learning Station” for the library. Why an AWE Learning Station? AWE Learning’s Early Literacy Station and AfterSchool Edge are the leading digital learning solutions for early learners. These solutions help create an engaging and fun environment with interactive content.
