Homewood Public Library: A Blue Ribbon Library

In the eyes of the citizens of Homewood, the Homewood City Council, the Library Board, and the library staff, Homewood Public Library has always been a "Blue Ribbon Library". This year they received the official Blue Ribbon Award from the Alabama Library Association making Homewood one of only a handful of libraries in the State of Alabama to meet the standards for excellence in public libraries. The Blue Ribbon Award is the highest award that can be attained. It is based on the level of services provided, the amount of funding, the staffing, and of course, the collection. Homewood Public Library is one of the busiest in the State of Alabama, circulating over half a million items per year. The Homewood Public Library is a star in the crown of the City of Homewood and a great source of pride for the community.
