Appleby Branch Library

In 1954, the Appleby Branch was given to the City of Augusta and Richmond County by
Mr. Scott B. Appleby and Mr. James Scott Appleby in memory of their wife and mother,
Mrs. Annie de Prairie Appleby.

Since 1955, a series of weekly concerts, lectures, etc., has been held each summer in the
garden of the Appleby Branch. Known as “Evenings in Appleby Garden”, the series is
planned and produced by the Library and financed by the Appleby Trust Fund.

The Appleby Branch Library offers a weekly storytime for toddlers and preschool age children on Wednesdays during the school year. During the Summer months the library offers a variety of activities for children, teens, and adults.
