It's an old place but becoming quite popular!

The town of Mooresville was established in 1873. The Mooresville Public Library, run by John A. Pritchard is located on S. Main Street and was originated in 1890. In 1890, some citizens of Mooresville decided that they would put together their personal collections of books to create the original "Mooresville Lending Library".

In 1899, the library was adopted by the town and had it's own staff. They changed the name to the "Mooresville Free Library". Then, in the following years, the library had little interest for the citizens.

In 1940, Mrs. Lutell Sherrill Williams of Mooresville built the new library on the homesite of her family heritage. 600 people came to the opening.

By 2005, the library was busting through it's original walls and earlier remodels and badly needed more space. The new remodel (existing building) added 30,000 more square feet!

Visiting the library is a great experience. The staff is kind and helpful. The children's floor downstairs is amazing, colorful, and 5 year olds even have their own computers and story rooms. The reference sections are great and include tax forms and every dictionary or encyclopedia I can think of!

The library includes sections for DVDs, magazines, newspapers, spanish section, children's books, audiobooks, and more! Free wi-fi, pay faxing, pay copies, public computers, and tons of programs to offer. The staff tells me that weekends are very busy.
