From helping area residents get up to speed with the latest technology to housing artifacts and archives that date back to the town's beginnings, the Henderson County Library is going above and beyond in their efforts to serve Western North Carolina. The main branch is located just ten minutes from Fox Run Preserve in downtown Hendersonville, NC, and is a hub for literature fanatics, families, historians, and more.

Classes and events cover a wide variety of topics including everything from learning the basics of effective internet searching to guest speakers like local storyteller Virginia Newsom. The library's special collections are highlights, too, with The Baker-Barber Collection, which is a compilation of Arthur Farrington Baker's photography, and The Stillwell Collection, which includes more than 4,000 original drawings by Erle Stillwell whose architecture remains a major part of Hendersonville's landscape. Whatever your interests or your age, the library is sure to have something to peak your interests.
