There is a book drop box located at our front entrance for your convenience if you are unable to visit the library during our open hours. There is also no fine Friday on overdue books.
We also have a private meeting room with small kitchen that may be rented hourly, daily, or weekly. We must have 24 hour notice for scheduling purposes. There is no fee but a donation would be greatly appreciated.

We have a collection of Harman School yearbooks that are available for viewing in the library. We don’t have a yearbook for every year but we do have many of them.
We also have a great collection of fiction and nonfiction about West Virginia and written by WV authors. From Homer Hickam to the autobiography of Chuck Yeager, we have quite a few classics that have come out of the Mountain State. Please feel free to come in and browse our genealogical collections. You can also make photocopies of genealogy information for .10 per copy. We also maintain a list of local cemeteries that include the gravesites of veterans. We also recommend contacting the Allegheny Regional Family History Society located at the IOOF Building on the Beverly 5-lane between Elkins and Beverly, West Virginia.
The library staff always welcomes volunteers and partners within the community. If you or your organization would like to hold an event with the library, please contact us. Ideas and suggestions are always welcome. We want to serve the needs of our community and offer more services to interest those in and around our area.
