On Dec. 17, 1967, the Cullman County Public Library opened its main branch at 200 Clark Street NE. The new building was financed by the Cullman County Board of Revenue, the Appalachian Commission and the Library Services and Construction Act. The land for the library was purchased from the City of Cullman.
The open house was held from 2-5 p.m., and included a dedication by Mrs. Mozell Cummings of the Alabama Public Library Service and a ribbon cutting by Mayor W.J. Nesmith of the City of Cullman and Chairman Calvin Vest of the Cullman County Board of Revenue.
At the time of the opening, the library’s collection consisted of 30,000 books.
