The Ramseur Public Library is much more than a simple depository of books; it is a place of constant activity which provides a wide range of services to library patrons. Ramseur’s library is part of the Randolph County Public Library system and provides patrons with access to all seven collections within the county. Conveniently located on Main Street, the Ramseur Public Library’s collection of 30,000 items includes books, graphic novels, books on CD, magazines and DVDs. Books and magazines may be checked out for three weeks, while a one -week limit applies to DVDs. E books and audio books are available online at www.randolphlibrary.org or thru the mobile app.
Computer stations are available for Internet access and word processing. A Randolph County library card, which can be obtained at the Ramseur Branch, is required to check out material or to use the Internet. While patrons are required to bring material that have checked out at the library back to the library or to one of the other branches there are no overdue fees or fines unless something is damaged or lost. The Ramseur Public Library is wireless, with access throughout the building and around the perimeter of the building. Patrons can now self-checkout as well. In addition to assisting patrons with reading material and research, the Library actively promotes early literacy and reading programs. The librarians present programs to school groups, and offers a weekly Preschool Story Time on Thursday mornings at 10:30 a.m. during the months of September through May. The library offers services and programming for all ages.
During the months of June and July, the library offers programs for children from preschool age through elementary school. The Summer Reading Program encourages children of all ages to continue to read through the summer.
As one of the seven branches in the Randolph Public Library System, the library is fortunate to have the support of the County with the Town of Ramseur supplying building and grounds support. With their continued support the library is able to continue its rich heritage of service to the community. Anyone wishing to make a financial contribution or donate a book in memory or in honor of a loved one may contact the Library
