History

[edit]
Former location at 6299 Gushee St.

The Felton Public Library was located at 6299 Gushee St., in a 1,250 square feet (116 m2) building that had originally been a church, the Felton Presbyterian Church, from 1956 to 2019.[1] The new Felton Public Library building, next to the Felton post office on Gushee Street, was scheduled to open in February 2020.[2]

In November 2019, library operations at the former building were permanently closed.[1]

The new library building, less than a quarter mile away, opened on February 22, 2020.[3]
