My Alabama Library

Jewel Crutch-Satchel doesn't usually like to be on camera, but she was happy to be interviewed if it meant she got to brag about the dedicated staff at the Town Creek Public Library.

As a lifelong educator, she specifically shared the importance of the library's Summer Reading Program (which started back this week). Their weekly program incorporates the library's Story Walk, which was partially funded by a grant from our partners at the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL).

Thank you to the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) for spreading the word about how wonderful our Alabama libraries are!

This is what rural libraries do. 💛

Our partners at My Alabama Library visited the Town Creek Public Library in Alabama — a small library that serves as the only lifeline for seniors, families, and community members who need help navigating an increasingly online world.

As we count down to in Montgomery this September, MAL is spotlighting Alabama's incredible rural and small libraries all year long. Stories like this are why this work matters.

Annie and Bobby Shackleford don't know what they would do without the Town Creek Public Library. Bobby says that finding out about the library was "the best summer that ever happened to us." Full story in the comments!

Thank you to our partners at the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL)! In the coming months, My Alabama Library will feature some of their member libraries in Alabama, as ARSL prepares for their 2026 conference in Montgomery, AL.
