📖 About Traphill Branch Library
The Traphill Branch Library is a branch of the Wilkes County Public Library, which operates under the umbrella of the Appalachian Regional Library (ARL) — a multi-county library system based in North Wilkesboro, NC, serving Wilkes, Ashe, and Alleghany counties. The Traphill branch sits in the rural northern Wilkes County community of Traphill, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Branch Manager Victoria Wolfe oversees a program lineup that includes the Reading Trap Book Club, the Chicks with Sticks crafting group, a Friends of the Library chapter, and community music jams. The branch participates in the statewide NC Cardinal catalog (appalachian.nccardinal.org), meaning a single library card unlocks holdings across the entire ARL system and provides access to NC LIVE's statewide digital resources.
