📖 About Clemmons Branch Library
Clemmons Branch Library is a branch of the Forsyth County Public Library system, which operates ten locations across Forsyth County and shares the NC Cardinal catalog with libraries throughout North Carolina. Forsyth County Public Library's main catalog is accessible at forsyth.nccardinal.org. The Clemmons branch opened its current 20,000-square-foot building on June 17, 2021, though the library system has served the Clemmons community since 1964 — the branch grew with a community that has been one of North Carolina's fastest-developing suburbs west of Winston-Salem. The new facility was built to hold a large auditorium, three small meeting rooms, a makerspace, a quiet reading room, dedicated spaces for teens and children, an outdoor courtyard, and public computers with accessibility software including text-to-speech, dictation and word prediction tools. Branch Manager Decca Slaughter leads a team that hosts book clubs, community programs and children's storytimes.
