The Hickory Public Library's Ridgeview Branch opened to the public June 20, 1998. The Ridgeview Branch Library has an exciting exterior. As you enter the front door, the meeting room is on the left, restrooms are on the right, and the desk is straight ahead. The circulation desk is conveniently located to serve those entering the building, as well as those customers who need help with computers or locating material. New customers have their pictures made for their H.E.L.P. cards with this Diebold camera.
Books are available on accessible, well-lit shelving.
There's seating for everyone - even the smallest children. Lounge seating is also available. Computers are available for adults - providing word processing, Internet access, and access to NCLive. And thanks to Smart Start, even the preschoolers have computer power available. The meeting room is spacious and airy, providing a delightful space for story time as well as adult programming and community meetings.
