Perry Memorial Library Board of Trustees
The Perry Memorial Library was established 19 May 1924 as a private library for Henderson and Vance County residents. In 1975, the library’s status changed from private to public when its Board of Trustees (Trustees) appointments and direct funding came under the auspices of the City and County. The facility, now located at 205 Breckenridge Street in downtown Henderson, is among the finest found in any small town and county and is a source of pride for the community. The Library’s website may be viewed by clicking on the following H. Leslie Perry Memorial Library link.
