THERE IS NO RESOURCE MORE EXCEPTIONAL IN A COMMUNITY THAN A LIBRARTY, ESPECIALLY WHEN NOTHING EXISTED PREVIOUSLY AND IT WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE COUNTY. THAT WAS AND REMAINS THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF THE CHEROKEE PUBLIC LIBRARY, A RESOURCE MADE POSSIBLE BY THE WPA. FOR 48 YEAR YEARS NOW THE LIBRARY HAS ENHANCED THE COMMUNITY'S QUALITY OF LIFE WITH AN ARRAY OF SERVICES MADE POSSIBLE ONLY BY ITS PHYSICAL PLANT. |
