Stewart County Public Library serves a community of 13,561 residents.  The Library began serving Stewart County in 1942, in a very small room in the court house.  The library later moved in the 1960's to a larger room in the new court house.  In 1985, a 2,000 square foot facility was built to serve the community.  The library soon outgrew this building.  A brand new, spacious 7,000 square foot building was constructed in 2001 where we currently reside. Our pavilion was added in 2014 as a place for people to come together to use Wi-Fi, study, read, and spend time together during or after hours.
