History :
Duraleigh Road Library opened June 29, 1991 at 5800 Duraleigh Road in Raleigh with Linda Cooper serving as branch manager. Funds for this new library were obtained as part of a bond referendum passed by voters in 1989. Library officials wanted to offer library services in this under- served but rapidly growing northern sector of our county. Duraleigh Road is a community library with a collection of approximately 66,000 volumes. Customers come here to find "something good to read" as well as for homework help, picture books, children's programs and a carefully selected browsing collection of fiction and non-fiction for all ages.
