Free summer concert at the WSS Public Library

The White Sulphur Springs Library is presenting a free soul music concert featuring home town girl, Haley Burns, on Tuesday, June 5, at 6 p.m.  Haley has been performing throughout the Greenbrier Valley in various venues including the Greenbrier Valley Theater. She specializes in tunes created for the soul and feels the need to spread her talent with whoever she meets.  Join us as she wows us with her special renditions of songs like “Someone to Watch over Me” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, just to name a few.  Light refreshments will be served after the concert.  Please call 304-536-1171 if you have any questions.

The first library in White Sulphur Springs was established in the summer of 1914 with the help of a gift from Olive P. Stokes. Miss Stokes, a frequent visitor to the Old White Hotel, donated $100 to be used to purchase furniture and pay rent for two upstairs rooms in a building on Main Street. In 1915, the White Sulphur Springs Company donated the present site to be used for a library.

The first library building was erected in 1921.  Seven years later a community house was added to the facility. During World War II, the U.S.O added a back room to the building. In 1976, the local organization became a state-affiliated library under the auspices of the West Virginia Library Commission and adopted its new name -- White Sulphur Springs Public Library.

As the years went by and the library continued to grow, the original building became inadequate. In 1987, a new building was built on the same site.  This 5,000 square foot facility is still in use today.
