A regional library system has come under fire over the past year and a half.
The Pamunkey Regional Library system has operated consistently for most of its 80 year history without too much controversy or concern about its decisions. That all changed after a display at the Atlee Branch library in September 2022 during Banned Books Week. King and Queen county recently left the library system. King William’s Board of Supervisors voted in July to leave, effective after 2 years. Both county’s Board of Supervisors said it would instead run its libraries on its own, independent from the regional system. Meanwhile, the town of West Point, located in King William county, indicated it’s afraid King William is going to leave it on the hook for funding its library.
