THE LIBRARY:  An exciting place to go for fun, discovery, answers, entertainment and adventures and it’s FREE  to Durham County Residents!  We have 8 locations where you can find all these adventures. Not only can you check out books, movies and games to take home, but you can also join the various story and movie times, and other activities for all ages!  Macaroni Kid has put together a listing of all the county libraries, along with their links, so you can check out the calendar at any location you wish to visit.
