The North Shelby Library District was created in 1988 by an act of the state legislature and a majority vote of the residents of the district to provide library services to an area of Shelby County which had no library and no municipality to support one. The library operates as a 501-c-3, non-profit corporation under the laws of the state and the direction of a five-member board. Board members are elected for staggered; four-year terms by the residents of the district in September of even numbered years and receive no compensation for their service.

The District covers approximately 15 square miles and extends from the Jefferson County line to a point on Double Oak Mountain near County Road 43 and from I-65 to a point just beyond Lake Purdy towards Leeds. The population of the District is approximately 36,000 people and projected to be 60,000 by 2010. The size of our new facility is based on state library standards for libraries serving populations of 30,000. The library's fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30. Assessment notices are mailed in October to the approximately 15,000 property owners in the District and payment is due by December 31. This past fiscal year, 10,000 bills were assessed at the $15 Homestead Rate. All others were assessed at the 1.75 mill Commercial Rate.

Mission Statement

The mission of the North Shelby Library is to serve all citizens in the North Shelby Library District by offering library services, resources, and facilities to fulfill their educational, information, cultural and recreational needs and/or interests. The term "citizens" includes all individuals and/or groups.
