Shepherdstown Public Library is West Virginia's longest continually-occupied library building, housed within the city's historic Old House Market. The library was established in 1922 by the Shepherdstown Women's Club and is connected to a larger library system operating nine libraries throughout West Virginia. An interlibrary loan system circulates items throughout the mid-Atlantic region, including periodicals, newspapers, e-books, and multimedia items. Visitors can explore the lovely Old Market House building, which was originally constructed in the early 19th century and has also housed the city's fire department, town council, and jailhouse. Computer labs are available for public use, featuring 26 internet-access computers. Regular events hosted at the library include storytime events for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
