Library Services
Today’s libraries offer so much more than books and DVDs. Whether you’re looking for a nice place to research, a book club, engaging activities for children and teens, or resources for teaching, you’ll find it at a Granville County Library System location.
Parents can spend time with children and start building a lifelong love of learning with storytime for young children, books, and e-books designed for children. Of course parents can find plenty of good reading for adults, as well as parenting resources.
Students have access to resources for homework, papers, and projects, as well as books and more! College-bound students can find SAT and ACT prep resources, as well as information about applying to colleges.
The Granville County Library System offers free exam proctoring at the Richard H. Thornton Library by appointment only. All appointments and scheduling changes should be made at least 48 hours in advance. All UNC system students should schedule exams via the UNC proctoring dashboard. Non-UNC system test takers are required to contact the Library to schedule a proctoring appointment. For questions or for more information, contact the Library at 919-693-1121 or email the proctoring staff. The Granville County Library System is a registered proctor with the UNC system.
Teachers can find fresh ideas for the classroom, including puppets and activities for elementary teachers.
Job seekers not only have access to the internet to search job openings, but can also find tips for creating a successful resume and acing an interview.
Across the adult lifespan, there are a variety of services and programs. Topics such as resume building and computer workshops are free and, regardless of skill or ability, everyone is welcome!
