About the branch

The Willard Branch Library opened its doors in 1992 after the northwest Greene County community pledged its support of a local branch. The branch, located in the East Shopping Center just a few blocks north of Highway 160 on Jackson Street (Z Highway), is conveniently located across the street from the Willard Middle School.
