Located in the small town of Walkertown, northeast of downtown Winston-Salem, is a library full of fun and learning. Built in 1992, this library feels modern, yet still captures all the classic library vibes.
From a large kids’ area to meeting and study spaces, the Walkertown Branch has so much to offer. Even if it’s not your neighborhood library, it’s well worth driving here to visit it.
A Sunlit Space for Growing Minds
The kids’ area has so much to do for all ages as well as comfortable seating for parents to relax. The large window at the end of the space provides tons of amazing natural light. While many of the Forsyth County library branches have computers for kids, this one has a cool set up with tablets.
Not only are there plenty of books on the shelves, but several are near the window for easy access for little ones to grab and learn from, as well. Plus, there are hands-on toys like Lego blocks and dinosaurs, and the walls have gorgeous floral murals.
From Quiet Study to Big Events
This branch has great options for the community when it comes to meeting or study spaces. They have an auditorium that has a capacity for 140 people and a conference room that fits up to eight. Plus, there are a few semi-private spaces for studying and working.
Inside the library, you’ll also find plenty of tables and chairs for reading, reflecting, studying and working.
Meet the Most Unlikely Library Resident
One very unique aspect of this library is the honorary animal friend that lives here. If you go to that large window in the kids’ area, you’ll find a sign about Steve, the resident groundhog. You can even peek down and see the hole to his den beside the window outside!
