Description: Pack Memorial Library is the main library for Buncombe County Public Libraries. The administrative offices, support staff, and technical services operations for the system are located in this building. Adult, young adult, and children's services are offered at Pack. Books, large print books, audio books, music tapes, CDs, videos and DVDs are available for check out. Internet access, word processing, and photocopy services are available. Because Pack Memorial is the main library, it contains the largest number of books, periodicals, and all other library materials for all ages. The Sondley Reference Department provides research materials ranging from investment reports to literary criticism, consumer information to homework help. The North Carolina Collection features local history and genealogy resources, while the Thomas Wolfe Collection honors Asheville's favorite son. Lord Auditorium, a 150-seat facility, is available for public use on a first-come basis during library hours. It contains A-V equipment, which must be reserved, and a one and one-half foot high, stationary platform for presentations. Seating can be re-arranged. Food and drink are not allowed inside the room and there is no kitchen facility. It is scheduled by calling 250-4711. Directions: Pack Memorial Library is located at 67 Haywood Street
in downtown Asheville. To get there, take Exit 4C (Haywood
Street/Montford Avenue) off I-240. The library is on the
corner of Haywood Street and Vanderbilt Place, near the
Asheville Civic Center. You may park on the street or
in the parking garage directly behind the building. To
enter the library, either park on level 5 in the parking
garage and use the connecting walkway directly from the
garage; or park on level 4, exit the garage and follow
the walkway to the entrance facing Vanderbilt Place. However, please note that when the Civic Center is having a special event, parking costs $5 regardless of your destination. While the Library is a Buncombe County agency, the parking garage is maintained by the City of Asheville. Library staff has no jurisdiction over parking regulations. Please contact the City of Asheville with parking concerns. Garage entrances are located on Vanderbilt Ave. and Rankin Ave. but all traffic must exit onto Rankin.
