📖 About Uniontown Public Library
Uniontown Public Library sits at the center of one of Alabama's smallest county seats, providing essential library services to residents of Perry County in the heart of the state's Black Belt region — so named for its dark, fertile soil and significant African American cultural heritage. The library's location on Water Street places it within easy reach of the community it serves, offering free computer access and WiFi in an area where home broadband can be scarce. Cardholders gain free access to the Alabama Virtual Library (AVL), connecting patrons to thousands of eBooks, academic journals, and research tools around the clock. Perry County has deep ties to the Civil Rights Movement — Selma and the Edmund Pettus Bridge lie just 19 miles to the east — and the library preserves this community's stories as a living resource for local history. Open Monday through Saturday, the library maintains one of the more generous schedules for a small Alabama county library.
