  • We are working with the Town of Aberdeen – Mayor, Commissioners, and Town Manager – to keep Page Memorial Library as a part of the Sandhill Regional Library System. The intent is to keep this historic building as a part of the library system – continuing the long history of public library service to the community. One of the suggestions being considered is to make the facility a repository for historical documents/information about Aberdeen and its founding families.

  • The building and furnishings are owned and maintained by the Town of Aberdeen, the books are provided by the Sandhills Regional Library System, an affiliate of the N C State Library. The staff are Moore County employees whose salary is supplemented by the Town. The Friends of the Library supplement with financial assistance and volunteer time.
