As Covid cases have decreased in Franklin County and our responsible patrons have been vaccinated, the Board of Directors have decided to drop the mandatory mask mandate requirement to visit our Library.
However, we hope that those who care to protect themselves and their neighbors, are at high risk for infection, or are immuno-compromized will still wear a mask when in our facility. Thank you.

I've always loved Nicholas Sparks Novels and I am very excited to start reading this one. This novel resonates a lot with me and I find the character very relatable. As always I'm sure it will be very good as all of his others are as well.

We Need YOU!
The Library needs Williamsburg Citizens to step up and support us
(one of the best and prettiest rural Libraries anywhere, by the way)
by becoming a member of the Board of Trustees.
The Board is responsible for:
• Determining the strategic direction of the Library, its future goals, oversee financial decisions
• Support and guide our Librarian, support our volunteers
• Support and promote Williamsburg events
• Determine policy or support policy determined by our Library Director.
Please consider if you can commit a little of your time to help us out. It is a great way to learn networking, marketing, working with City Government, and learning basics in personal and financial management. All these skills are transferable to other professions. We meet once a month on the third Tuesday. Either come in and talk to our Library Director Shae, talk to our President, Virginia Cook
or just attend a meeting and see what it is all about.
Williamsburg deserves our Library and we need your energy, ideas, and support!
Our current Board is: Virginia Cook: President; Sharon Woods: Vice President; Ken Hagenback: Secretary;
Bruce Rockhold: Treasurer; Lisa Vencel: Board Member; Bobbie Hawkins: Board Member
