We can spend an hour daily going back to his favorite exhibits and exploring new ones. As an adult, I've learned so much already and would love to spend a day here alone. Their "Everyone is Special" initiative focuses on autism with trained individuals in the field--a great opportunity to reach out to others in the Autism community. Spend some time browsing their website. There are a lot of valuable resources here. The staff is wonderful.

Anyone interested in learning more about local black history, especially in the larger African American historical framework, would find this place enjoyable. Although it was quite small, we took away quite a bit of info not just on central Virginia black history but Lynchburg history in general. The pictures were great and the artifacts even better. We were lucky to get a tour by one of the board members. Thankful that this place exists so the history is preserved with it. Wish more new of it.

With lots of areas also for working in groups. If it is a nice day and you want some sun there is rooftop access and plenty of seats outside. The library even has a small museum on the bottom floor that is easy to miss if you did not know it was there. The front desk, customer service employees are very helpful with any questions you may have. There is a Starbucks, a pizza hut, and other food vendors so if you have to study all day you do not have to go far to fuel up. One real neat feature that this library has is the book storage and retrieval system. You simply choose the book on the computer screen and a machine arm will find it and deliver it to you out of the thousands of books storaged there.
