📖 About R.L. Hadden Memorial Library
The R.L. Hadden Memorial Library — also known locally as the Henagar Public Library — is the City of Henagar's public library, located at 17163 Alabama Highway 75 in DeKalb County in the northeastern corner of the state. Under the leadership of librarian Jordan Palmer and assistant librarian Joli Palmer, the library runs well beyond simple book lending: it provides free computers, Wi-Fi, public notary service, fax, and copying for residents. A full calendar of recurring programs makes the library a genuine community gathering place, including art classes, a children's book club for grades 2–5, a STEAM learning program, a science class, and a Rubik's Cube Club — all held weekly or bi-weekly throughout the school year. Monthly Family Literacy Reading events and an adults' HenagaReaders book club round out the offerings. Alabama residents can obtain a free library card for in-branch use and to unlock the statewide Alabama Virtual Library databases from home.
