About the Library

Ettrick-Matoaca Library serves the communities of Matoaca and Ettrick. It is situated on the outskirts of Virginia State University's Randolph Farm just down the road from the bustling Village of Ettrick. In 2013, the Ettrick-Matoaca Library was completely renovated as a better, brighter, more functional public space. It has one of several reading gardens located at libraries. Thanks to a gift from a local organization, the Ettrick-Matoaca Library is home to a makerspace that includes a 3-D printer, two sewing machines and raised garden beds for a community garden.
