Augusta Robertson was the acting librarian in the early 1970s. We do not have names of the other people in the photos as these photos were taken from slides. At one time the children’s area was downstairs in the basement of the first library building, but it was later moved to the top floor. Not sure of the date when this occurred. The first building was located at 40 East Court Street, Rocky Mount, Virginia.
