Making a Turkey Wind chime out of a paper cup
In 1930, the Heflin Branch first opened in the hallway of the teacherage with a teacher from the Heflin High School in charge. During the summer months, the library was moved to another location on campus referred to as the agricultural building.
In 1994, the library system began renting a building to house the Heflin Library for $25 a month up to $100 a month provided the library agreed to renovate the building as requested.
On October 31, 2000, Mary Helen Reeves Beatty signed papers donating the Heflin Library building to the Police Jury. Beatty and her sister Alice Reeves Rugg owned the building, which was used as a library, since it was built.
On August 4, 2011, the branch had to temporarily close due to air conditioning units burning out and causing a major water leak in the process. The branch reopened to the public on December 16, 2011.
In 2015, the branch went through a major renovation project that included interior and exterior painting, floor leveling, and adding additional shelving units. A new metal roof was also installed.
This branch offers a wide variety of materials and services such as books, magazines, blu-rays and DVDs, Wi-Fi, Laptops, Computers, Printers and Fax Machines, and much more. Call for more information and availability.
