Melissa Crenshaw
Branch Manager

Ware Shoals Library was first established in 1913.  The branch was housed in several locations including Katherine Hall, the First Methodist Church and the house that is now the Senior Center.  In 1999, the new library was built.  The Ware Shoals Community Library is very unique, not only are we a public library, but also a high school library with two circulation systems.

The Ware Shoals Community Library has computers, photocopier/printers and Wi-Fi. The Library offers programs for children, teens, and adults. Program descriptions can be found below. 

The Ware Shoals Library will be open from 9 AM - 5:30 PM (closed from 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM for lunch) on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays starting on June 26 until December 15.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Bowwow Powwow by Brenda J. Child.

Summer is coming to an end and Uncle, Windy Girl, and her dog, Itchy Boy are going to a powwow. Windy Girl delights in the revelry of dancing and singing. She enjoys yummy food in front of a campfire, surrounded by family and friends. She isn’t ready for the summer to end as she falls asleep under the stars. With the spirit of her vibrant imagination, Windy Girl takes stories she hears from Uncle and dreams of a twist: a bowwow powwow, where all the dancers are dogs!

Thank You, Omu by Oge Mora.

The entire neighborhood has set their sights on Omu’s scrumptious stew! One by one, their noses find the delicious scent. Little by little, Omu shares part of her meal. She soon realizes that the pot is empty. She has been so generous that she doesn’t have any left for herself! However, starting with one more knock on the door, Omu will be touched by the gratitude and generosity of her neighbors.(An author's note explains that Omu (pronounced AH-moo) means queen in the Igbo language of her parents, but growing up, she used it to mean Grandma. This book was inspired by the strong female role models in Oge Mora's life).
