Swannanoa Library Branch We are a community library at the heart of Grovemont in Swannanoa. W. Grove and the Biltmore House. Come see us! See you soon. https://linktr.ee/swannanoalibrary

Nestled in the heart of Swannanoa, the Swannanoa Branch Library is in Grovemont, a historic neighborhood with ties to H. Built by volunteers as a community center in 1956, for years it was home to teen dances, scout meetings and other local events. Surrounded on three sides by a park, playground and woods, along with a small pollinator garden, Swannanoa Library is a great place to be--inside and out. Comfortable seating, a cozy area for youngsters and our activity room--all in regular use. Although we are the smallest branch in physical space, we have a great collection available for checkout, all the connections of the biggest branches, and a bargain basement book sale that takes up the whole bottom floor. Stroll our walking paths, visit for a concert in the park or cinema on the square and consider finding just what you need in our music and DVD collections to take home when you leave.
