📖 About Moundville Public Library
Founded in 1934 with only five donated books, Moundville Public Library has quietly grown over nine decades into the cultural heart of this small Hale County town. The library now holds more than 22,000 books and DVDs, and Director Lindsey Mullins leads a staff committed to serving residents five days a week, year-round. Ten public computers and free WiFi throughout the building make this an important connectivity hub for a rural community where broadband access can be limited. Cardholders also unlock the full Alabama Virtual Library (AVL), giving every patron free 24/7 access to thousands of eBooks, magazines, and research databases from any device. Sitting just two miles from Moundville Archaeological Site — one of the most significant pre-Columbian Native American ceremonial centers in the Southeast — the library carries a local history collection that reflects the deep cultural heritage of this corner of Alabama.
