Reynolda Manor Branch Library
Housed in a converted 17,000-square-foot former movie theater in northwestern Winston-Salem, the Reynolda Manor Branch Library is one of Forsyth County's most distinctive public spaces. Two donated glass display cases rotate community art and artifact collections year-round, and the branch's stage-era bones give it a character unlike any standard library building — open six days a week, evenings through Thursday.
