📖 About Augusta County Library
Governed by a Board of Trustees appointed by the Augusta County Board of Supervisors, the Augusta County Library has been a cornerstone of community life in the central Shenandoah Valley for decades. The Fishersville main branch sits at 1759 Jefferson Highway, conveniently positioned between Staunton and Waynesboro, and leads a system that also includes the Stuarts Draft, Churchville, Craigsville, Deerfield, Middlebrook, and Weyers Cave locations. The library maintains a fine-free policy so that overdue items never create a barrier to access. Special collections include an Augusta County Genealogical Society archive staffed by knowledgeable volunteers and a Memory Lab designed to assist patrons with dementia-related challenges. A popular seed library lets gardeners borrow vegetable, herb, and flower seeds each spring, returning seeds at the end of the season to keep the program self-sustaining. Cardholders also gain access to the Valley Libraries Connection consortium for extended borrowing across the region, and to Find It Virginia — the state's free gateway to research databases, eBooks, and audiobooks.
