Watauga Public Library — Attraction in Watauga

Watauga Library: Books, Ballet, and Bigfoot.

Listen, I’ve been to a lot of libraries, but Watauga Library? This place gets it. The book selection is top-notch—I could use a few more Joe Todd Stanton books for the kids, but hey, nobody’s perfect.

But the real star of the show? The programming. I don’t know who’s running this, but they deserve a serious raise. Anyone bold enough to book Lyle Blackburn deserves a medal, a trophy, and possibly their own statue in front of the building. That’s the kind of decision-making we need in all public institutions.

It's outdated, get with the...

I had to pay $19 for a book that "needed to be replaced" because of the damage done to the book. We didn't even do this damage to the book! We never noticed the damage when we checked this out. Absolutely ridiculous! Will not be going back, unfortunately. I will add some pictures of the "damaged" book here so it can be seen how minor the "water damage" is. All that can be seen is a slight wrinkling of the pages. Definitely not enough to have to replace the...
