| Thelma Dingus Bryant Library |
The Wallace Woman’s Club, a member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, started the library in 1933. Several locations were used for this purpose including the Woman’s Club Clubhouse, private homes, a rented room, a small log cabin, and in 1940 one wing of the current Women’s Club building.
In February 1964, Branch Banking and Trust Company donated its recently vacated building to the Town of Wallace to be used as a library. The three groups that were most instrumental in carrying out this project were BB&T, J.P. Stevens and the Rotary Club. Many other businesses, organizations, and individuals donated time, books, and money to improve the library. In July 1964 the Town Board appointed a Board of Trustees and the library became an official Town Library.
In 1969 the family of Thelma Dingus Bryant gave the Town of Wallace a beautiful new building in her memory in which to house their library, thus the current name of the library. From 1969 to present the number of volumes has increased from 6,000 to 26,000. Many individuals and organizations such as The Town of Wallace, BB&T, the Wallace Women’s Club, the Wallace Junior Woman’s Club, The Wallace Rotary, the Bryant Family, and the Friends of the library still contribute generously to maintaining the quality of our library.
