Elm City Library
📚 Elm City Public Library
The Elm City Public Library is an important resource for our community, offering access to books, technology, learning opportunities, and programs for all ages. While the Town of Elm City maintains the library building, the library itself operates as part of the Wilson County Public Library system, which oversees collections, programming, events, and daily operations.​​​​​​​
Elm City Library provides far more than books alone. Visitors can explore educational programs, children’s activities, public computer access, and community events — many of which are free and open to the public. Whether you’re visiting for a quiet place to read, researching a topic, attending a program, or introducing a child to the joy of learning, the Elm City Public Library is a valuable and welcoming space for residents of all ages.​
Hours: Monday–Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; closed Saturday and Sunday.
Location: 114 N. Railroad St in Elm City, NC
