Mission of the Fontana Regional Library

"To provide the public of Jackson, Macon, and Swain counties with excellent service and convenient access to resources for their educational, informational, and recreational needs."

Our Vision Statement - "The Heart of the Community, Enriching Lives and Inspiring the Future."

Over 75 Years of Service

In 1944, Fontana Regional Library had its humble beginnings when the Tennessee Valley Authority sponsored a regional bookmobile to visit the most remote areas of Jackson, Macon and Swain Counties. Over 75 years later, Fontana Regional Library is proud to coordinate a wide range of public library services for its six member libraries.


Fontana Regional Library Board

Regional Libraries are established by Article 14, Chapter 153A of the North Carolina General Statutes and the North Carolina Administrative Code 07 NCAC 02I. We are governed by a Library Board with representatives from each of our counties in accordance with the Regional Agreement signed by all three counties and the State Library of North Carolina.
