Adults 18 and over are invited to come play chess at our first meeting.

Bethesda and Surroundings Communities by Rick Warwick presents a history told with personal interviews by those who grew up in the southern part of Williamson County. Period photographs are included to enrich the narratives of those telling their life stories. Histories of schools, churches, country stores, physicians, fraternal organizations, and local postmasters supplement the interviews in more detail. The early families settled largely on the North Carolina land grant of 4,800 acres belonging to Dr. Joseph Blythe, a Revolutionary War veteran. A section entitled Faces of the Past offers an insight into the physical appearances of those who once called this area home. Photos, screenshots, and videos may be taken at library events and activities for library use and publicity. Anyone not wanting to have their photo taken should notify library staff at the time of the event or activity.
