It was located in an old milk truck taken off its wheels, with no bathroom and occasionally no heat or air conditioning. In 1998, with the support of the town, county, Blackwater Library System, assorted donors, and the Friends of the Library, it was moved into the quaint old bank/doctor's office/town hall building on the circle -- in the heart of Claremont. It is now staffed by Blackwater Regional Library employees, and with the continuing support of the Friends of the Claremont Library, serves a very grateful community.
