Thank you to the Alabama Department of Economic Affairs/Department of Energy  (ADECA) for your support of the Montgomery City-County Library through grants totaling over $50,000 in improving, upgrading and replacing lighting in the following libraries:  Juliette Hampton Morgan Memorial Library, Rufus A. Lewis Regional Library, EL Lowder Regional Library, Coliseum Boulevard Branch Library, Governors Square Branch Library, Ramer Branch Library, and the Pintlala Branch Library.  These upgrades improved lighting in all libraries 100% with LED lights which are more energy efficient, brighter and softer on the library collection. 

Out of an abundance of caution for our patrons and staff, and in an effort to help limit the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), all Montgomery City-County Public Library locations are CLOSED until further notice.

All programs, services, outreach activities, and meeting room reservations have been cancelled.

Curbside service is available to check out books and media; contact your local branch for details.
