Branch History
In the Fall of 1993, King & Queen County approached the
Pamunkey Regional Library to have Pamunkey run a Library in their county. There was at
that time
a volunteer Library in Walkerton. After some negotiations, the County and Pamunkey
settled on opening a Library in the old Lawson-Marriott School.
This school, which had been closed for several years, is located in St. Stephens Church, in
the western end of the county.
There was much work that needed to be done to fix up the
three rooms that
the King & Queen Branch needed in the school building. Also a collection of
books and audio-visual materials needed to be put together. Pamunkey received
a grant from the Library of Virginia, which helped pay for some of the materials
that are in this branch library.
The King & Queen Library opened to the public in March
1994. On Monday, January 14, 2002 we opened our new branch facility, which
was generously donated by the County of Henrico, on the grounds of the
Marriott School. The library has been a
great asset to the community, especially to the school children, and we look
forward to serving the citizens of King & Queen County for many years to
come.
Pamunkey also provides
bookmobile service to King and Queen County one day a week. For more
