For adults
The library is not just for kids (although we love them) and not just about books (although we’ve got them). We offer a wide range of adult-specific programs and services created to inspire lives and transform our community. Wherever you are in life, we’re there for you.
At the library, you can:
- Find a quiet space to work. Send an email or a fax. Get support with starting the business you’ve been imagining
- Join a book club. Level up your computer skills. Slow down with meditation, or get moving with line dancing.
- Take a class online. Get tools for your job search. Find your ancestors.
- Get reading recommendations. Find the latest bestsellers. Write your own novel.
There’s something for everyone – come check us out!

Meet the adult services librarians
Jessica
Location: South Regional Library
Jessica is the Adult Services Manager at the South Regional Library. She grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan and moved to Durham in 2008. She has a master’s degree in creative writing from Kansas State University, and a master’s in library science from Wayne State University. She has loved the library for as long as she can remember, and when she was nine, she turned all her books into “library books” by making cards and pockets for all of them. When she’s not busy being a librarian, she loves to spend time with her son and her two wacky dogs, read, draw, and work on her photography.
