Hi Marge, There really isn't a Stokes County Library, instead there are three libraries that belong to a regional library system for rural communities in the northwest counties and receive operation funds from state, county and municipal sources. The three public libraries in Stokes, all three are relatively new facilities: Danbury King Walnut Cove Walnut Cove has some WC items but King is very weak in local history. The best library for local genealogists is the library in Danbury which has a small but growing local history collection (family histories, heritage books from the region, newsletters, cemetery and wills books, etc plus microfilm from the State Archives) in the Hollingsworth Room which the Stokes County Historical Society helped found. The Hollingsworth Room also has museum cases that are of interest. Danbury is a 45 minutes to an hour from Wake Forest Univ.. Danbury Library's phone number is: 336-593-2419. Many small libraries change hours in the summer, Danbury is open for sure M-F during business hours.
