Nantahala Community Library is located behind the Nantahala School in the heart of the beautiful Nantahala Mountains, also known as the "Land of the Noonday Sun".

We are in the same building as the Early Head Start and Head Start. We currently have approximately 4,000 books including, fiction, non-fiction, biography, children's, juniors and large print. In addition to that we have audio books, videos, and over a dozen magazine subscriptions. We also benefit from numerous donations from the community.

With our Baker and Taylor leasing program our patrons are ensured to have the latest of the best sellers and popular authors. We have 2 internet computers, 2 children's computers and an additional catalog computer. This room can also be utilized for community meetings, parent teacher conferences, and the children's reading and summer programs.

Audio/visual equipment is available upon advance notice. For the kids, we have puzzles, games, a learning resource center, and fun videos.

Story time at Nantahala

A summer reading program is a favorite for the children! Our latest books are highlighted in both the Andrews Journal, and Franklin Press in the Nantahala News column.

With our friendly staff and our central location in the community, many patrons just come by and visit. We welcome you to visit us too!

History

The library was first established in 1986 in the community center and was located right on the river. In 1999, the Nantahala Library was relocated to its present location behind the school. This location provides an excellent resource for not only the full and part time residents of the community, but also for the students and teachers at Nantahala School.

Friends of the Library

The Friends of the Macon County Public Library organization raises money for the Library by operating the only full-time, Friends' volunteer-run used bookstore in North Carolina. The bookstore carries a wide range of used books, magazines, records, puzzles, games and other items. To learn more about the Friends group, click here.
