The Law Library was originally started by Robert Greg Cherry, former Governor of the State of North Carolina. Presently it is jointly supported by the Gaston County Bar Association and by the Gaston County government. Fees The Gaston County Law Library is a joint project of Gaston County and the Gaston County Bar Association. The library is intended for the use of the public, personnel of Gaston County and the court system, and members of the Gaston County Bar Association, who are subscribers to the Library. There is no book checkout from the library.
Past experience shows that book checkout inevitably leads to lost books.
The only reason that a book may be taken from the library is if a Judge requests that it be brought to court. In that instance, it is preferable that the relevant pages be copied. If that is not feasible, the book may be signed out only by checking with the Trial Court Administrator on the second floor. If the book is not returned, the signer will be held responsible. Anyone removing a book without authorization will not be permitted to use the library facilities.
