Blowing Rock Library

Book Sales. Old time charm. The Blowing Rock Community Library is located on the corner of Main Street and Park Ave., adjacent to the Town Hall. The beautiful stone structure was built in 1949. Inside, the library sports warm wood paneling, iron chandeliers, and stone fireplace. There are many reference books on local sights, history, and architecture. You will seemingly go back in time as the library still uses the card catalog. Be sure to check out the whimsical featuring signed artwork by beloved children's author Eric Carle. The locals will tell you one of the library's best features: a continuously running BOOK SALE of gently used hardback and paperback books as well as collectible volumes. Prices start at $1. Don't miss visiting "Jessie" who casually reading a book while seated on a bench on the front lawn (photo op!). Summer Hours (May-Oct): Mon-Sat 10:30am - 4:00pm Winter Hours (Nov-Apr): M W Sat 10:30am - 4:00pm.
