Trussville Public Library
The Trussville Public Library is located at 201 Parkway Drive and is a member of the Jefferson County Library Cooperative.
History
The first library in Trussville was established in the late 1930s with the completion of the Cahaba Village. The first public library was in the current Hewitt-Trussville Middle School, then the high school, with Jean Glenn serving as the first librarian. From this location the library would move to the Cahaba Management Office and Heritage Hall before the current building was constructed in 1965. From its beginnings of a single volunteer, the library now has a staff of fourteen individuals.
Expansions
Expansions of the existing building first occurred in 1988 with the addition of a children’s room. A second major expansion occurred beginning in 1996 resulting in its temporary closure and relocation to the neighboring John C. Yarbrough Community Center for the duration of construction. Construction was complete by November 1997 with its rededication occurring on May 17, 1998.
