This is a list of Virginia Public Libraries throughout the state. These are organized alphabetically by county and independent city with information from the Library of Virginia – the official State Archive for Virginia.

 

In addition to local historical material, public libraries often subscribe to online research databases which patrons can use for free. Some of these can be used from your home with a valid library account. For information on which databases to look for that may help you in your genealogy research as well as tips for onsite visits, see How To Use Your Public Library for Genealogy Research.
