McKenney Branch, ARLS, is located in the McKenney Town Hall. It officially opened in 1987 through a strong community effort to raise funds and awareness of the need for this library. It remains a strong part of the community, and serves not only the town of McKenney and its nearly 500 citizens but also draws patrons from Dinwiddie, Brunswick, Nottoway and Sussex counties. The staff cites strong patron loyalty for the library’s success.
Joanne Cowden has been at McKenney for over ten years. Long time volunteer Crystal Baird has been at her side for six of those years. A welcome addition to the staff, Debi Heart, has been with McKenney for a year. The staff promotes a comfortable atmosphere, aided by the addition of a reading room to the branch last year.
The McKenney staff prides itself on being able to get any resource that the patrons want. They are eager to promote library and community programs and serve as a focal point in the community. Their patrons know that if they don’t know where to find something they can call the library and get the answer.
