Powhatan County Public Library

Powhatan County Public Library The current library was constructed in 2001 and the building was dedicated on November 3, 2001. The Library is a department of the Powhatan County government.

The Powhatan County Public Library was first organized by volunteers to serve the residents of Powhatan on April 13, 1975 and was officially recognized as the County’s Library by the Powhatan Board of Supervisors on May 9, 1988. It is locally funded through a revenue appropriation made by the Board of Supervisors of Powhatan County, Virginia. The Library also receives state aid funding from the Li

brary of Virginia. The purpose of the library is to acquire, organize, provide access and offer guidance to a broad range of information, materials, and services. Primarily, this mission is to encourage their use to help fulfill the intellectual, educational, social, cultural, community, and recreational needs of all people in the County.

Introducing our "Baby Basics" kits, available for checkout now! Designed for caregivers of children ages 0-5, these kits include handmade items made by "From the Heart Stitchers" as well as digital video brochures to introduce you to "The Basics".

Science shows that 80% of brain growth happens by the age of three! Beginning from birth, young brains develop like little muscles, getting bigger and stronger the more you and your family interact with your child. The Basics Principles are five fun, simple, and powerful ways to help all our children grow to be happy and smart.

The Five Basics Principles are:
-Maximize love, manage stress
-Talk, sing, and point
-Count, group, and compare
-Explore through movement and play
-Read and discuss stories
