TPL Weaver Bolden Branch Tuscaloosa Public Library's Weaver Bolden Branch is your local library on the west side of Tuscaloosa. The library is open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday.

The Weaver-Bolden Branch of the Tuscaloosa Public Library is located in the McKenzie Court apartment complex in West Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Monday-Thursday, and 1-5 p.m. Visit us to check out books, DVDs, CDs, audiobooks, and literacy teaching materials, to use the computer, and to print, fax, or copy documents. We also provide programs including storytime for preschoolers, daily after-school homework help for elementary school students, Teen Tech and Maker Space programs for kids and teens, and book discussions and computer classes for adults. Please give us a call to find out more about our services and programs! Established in 1948, the Weaver-Bolden Library was the first branch of the Tuscaloosa Public Library. The library is named for two community leaders: Dr. George Augustus Weaver (1871-1939), a physician, surgeon, and educator who supported the education of black students in Tuscaloosa through use of his personal library, and Mrs. Ruth Bolden (1910–2004), the branch's founder and first librarian, and prominent local civil rights activist.
