Culpeper County Library

The Culpeper County Library was organized in 1926 through the efforts of Lucille Nelson Penniman and Mary Williams Tucker. Miss Crimora Waite was appointed the first official librarian and served in that capacity for over 50 years. In 1963 the first library building was constructed and served as home to the Culpeper Town and County Library. In 1996 the library became an agency of the County of Culpeper and plans were made to construct a new library. Our present fully-automated facility opened to the public on March 25, 1998. Library Board of Trustees Rebecca Mazuch (East Fairfax) Jack Schupp (Stevensburg) Jack Garber (Jefferson) Gary Deal (Board of Supervisors) Peggy Place (Cedar Mountain) Barbara Weber (Salem) Mary Puhan-Lanier (Catalpa) Marty Moon (West Fairfax) The Library Board meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 7 pm in the Library's Conference Room.
