Moore County Public Library
The library is one of the best free things in Lynchburg. Bring the kids to storytime, borrow a book or an audiobook for the drive, get help with a computer, trace your family tree, or just sit somewhere warm and quiet. A healthy library helps the whole town, and it belongs to everyone in Moore County.

We point to the library’s own pages and public records; we don’t make up facts. Where sources disagree or we couldn’t confirm something, we say “call to confirm.” Library programs change often, so the library’s own calendar always wins.
Work at the library, or spot something out of date? Tell us and we’ll fix it gladly.
