Forsyth County Library Spotlights: Carver School Road Branch Library – An Inspiring Place for Creativity, Learning, Play and Community

Located on the northeast side of Winston-Salem, not far from the Smith Reynolds Airport, is a must visit Forsyth County library. The Carver School Road Branch Library has a great mix of fun and learning.

Why is it a must visit? The children’s room is huge and has so much to do for littles. Plus, it has great workspaces.

Massive, Fun Filled Kids’ Room to Explore

Unlike some libraries that just have kids’ sections or are mostly focused on books, the children’s room at the Carver School Road Branch is spacious and fun. There are, of course, books, but it also features kids’ computers, a large Lego table, tables for coloring or reading, plenty of interactive wall toys, a large screen television that plays kid-appropriate shows and a large learning play cube.

Not only is there plenty of space to roam, play and have story time, but the decorations are spot on and add to the appeal, as well.

Quiet, Focused Space for Work and Study

There are plenty of desks and computer workstations with a quiet atmosphere at this library. It’s the perfect place to get focused on your work or assignment. I’ve had great success writing articles here!

This library is one of only two in the system that offer free computer and internet access for individuals with physical disabilities. It features specially designed technology to meet their unique needs.

A conference/multi-purpose room is available to rent at no cost, with space for up to 30 people. Advance booking is required to reserve the room.

Creative Details and Artistic Surprises

While subtle, art is a true focus in this library’s setting. It features contemporary Afrocentric decor that beautifully complements the space and reflects the surrounding community. A striking Winston-Salem mural brings one wall to life, offering a vibrant backdrop for nearby tables. Just outside the kids’ room, a colorful tree mural and a cheerful elephant statue add a playful and artistic touch.
