My Hometown Library

Front of the Library

The J.B. Nickells Memorial Library is my hometown library.   It is medium to small-sized.  I’m not sure how many books it has in it, but it does have a good selection of teenager books – the ones I like and dislike.  Also, the kids’ section is good and has a big room.

Beanbags in the kids' section

My favorite part of going to the library is picking a book, going to the kids’ section and sitting in one of the big comfy beanbag chairs to read.  Some of the favorite books I read when I’m there are books from the “Inheritance Series” by Christopher Paolini and “Ranger’s Apprentice Series” by John Flanagan.

The Caldwell County Genealogical Society is in the library.  Here’s a short paragraph from the society:

The entrance to the Caldwell County Genealogical Society

“The Historical Research Center, head-quartered in the library, is where the Society studies, collects and preserves the historical and genealogical records of the county.  The aim is to use good archival practices and to make these materials available to the public.”

Librarian Nancy Gilchrist

The librarian, Nancy Gilchrist, has been working there since April 1985.  The reason she’s there is to work with books and help people find what they want.  

That’s a recap on my hometown library.  I’m doing more research so see you next time!
