Moorer/Spring Hill Branch Library is located at 4 S McGregor Ave in Mobile's Spring Hill neighborhood — a historic area settled in the early 19th century and home to Spring Hill College, the oldest Catholic college in Alabama, founded in 1830. The branch is part of the Mobile Public Library system, which has served the city since its founding as a subscription library in the 1850s and became fully public in 1902. Named for Monte L. Moorer, a respected figure in Mobile's community life, the branch carries on a legacy of accessible neighborhood library service for the Spring Hill and surrounding west Mobile communities. Patrons enjoy a full circulating collection, public computers, free Wi-Fi, and access to the system's digital platforms. Holds from any of the ten system branches can be transferred here for convenient pickup, and materials returned at this location re-enter the shared catalog for the entire network.
