📖 About Campbell County Public Library
The Campbell County Public Library is the main branch of the Campbell County Public Library System, located in the lower level of a county facility at 684 Village Highway in Rustburg, Virginia — the county seat of Campbell County. The system's motto is "Tradition Meets Tomorrow," and beyond the standard library fare it embraces its community roots in tangible ways: a patio area maintained by the Friends of the Rustburg Library offers benches, flower beds, and umbrellas; Rustburg High School seniors donated the Little Free Pantry, available to anyone at any time; and the Campbell County Militia supplied and maintains a seed library on the patio. The branch offers notary service by appointment on weekdays, WiFi in the parking lot 24/7 (via the Campbell Guest Library network), and multiple meeting rooms. It anchors a system that also includes the Staunton River Memorial Library (SRML), the Patrick Henry Memorial Library (PHML), and the Altavista location. The Friends of the Rustburg Library hold an annual book sale and yard sale, fund library improvements, and offer a $1,000 scholarship to qualifying Rustburg High School seniors who complete volunteer hours at the library.
