Fontana Regional Library (FRL) connects the six public libraries in Jackson, Macon, and Swain Counties into a system of libraries. All of the libraries in the FRL system have long and rich histories in their home communities. Uniting as a region enables our libraries to provide higher quality services and operate more effectively and efficiently than if each library stood alone.
