In 1924 a group of ladies from
Smithfield went to the town council and asked
for assistance to
start a local library. With donations of books and money theyd in January of 1925 with 100 books on the shelves. In 1942 the library moved to the courthouse
on Main Street in order to have more room. In 1945 Miss Cora Leigh Chapman
died and left her home to be used as a library. The library was
renamed and became the Benjamin P. Chapman Memorial Library. In 1974 we became a part of the Walter Cecil Rawls Regional
Library System which is now Blackwater Regional Library. We moved to our present location in
1989. The name was again changed to the Isle
of Wight County
Library/Smithfield Branch. We offer at our library numerous genealogy resources. Isle of Wight County Genealogy/History |
