Support Reading and Learning in Cashiers
Your Generosity Supports and Fuels Reading Programs, Events, and Resources That Make a Lasting Difference
“Be a little careful about your library. Do you foresee what you will do with it? Very little, to be sure. But the real question is what it will do with you. You will come here and get books that will open your eyes, and your ears, and your curiosity, and turn you inside out or outside in.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1873
Our Library
Located in the heart of Cashiers Village at 249 Frank Allen Road, the Albert Carlton Cashiers Community Library stands as a welcoming cornerstone of local life. Often described as “the heart of the village,” it brings together people of all ages to learn, connect, and share experiences.
With steadfast support from both permanent and seasonal residents, the library continues to flourish as a trusted community resource and gathering place.
A Place to Gather & Grow
The Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library is much more than a place to borrow books—it’s where ideas, friendships, and creativity take root.
It serves as:
A public meeting space for civic and community events
A welcoming hub for families and friends
A cultural venue for programs such as the Chamber Music Series and Movie Nights
An after-school haven for students from local schools and the Boys & Girls Club
Supporting these meaningful experiences is the Friends of the Library, a dedicated volunteer organization that enhances programming, events, and outreach year-round.
