Powhatan County Public Library

Federal, state and local resources for the COVID-19 pandemic

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our building is closed until further notice; however, the Library team is on duty and ready to assist.

Library WiFi and e-branch resources are available 24/7. Library staff are available Monday – Friday 9AM-5PM to provide remote support to patrons. For Library assistance, please use the chat box in the lower right corner of the webpage; call 804-598-5670, or email us at library@powhatanlibrary.net.

While the library is closed, the book drop will also be closed. Patrons should keep library materials until the Library reopens to the public. Fines accrued during the closure will be waived. If a patron encounters any library card/account issues, please contact the Library staff by phone or email.

Unfortunately, the Library is unable to accept book donations during the closure. Please do not leave donations near the Library entrances. Library staff are not available to provide intake of donations during the closure.

Powhatan community members are encouraged to apply online for a library card to gain 24/7 access to all of the amazing e-resources the Library provides. Library membership grants access to our professionally curated collection of e-books, e-audiobooks, and digital magazines. To apply online, visit our Getting a Library Card page. The Library also accepts title suggestions for our print and e-book collections. To submit a suggestion online, visit Recommend a Title to complete the form.
