Alabama Room

Remember! If you are needing to view local or regional maps, some of those may be stored in Houston Cole Library’s special collections room, the Alabama Room. Items in this room may be viewed but cannot be checked out. Also, the Alabama Room is only open Monday-Friday, 8 am-4:30 pm. Make sure to plan ahead and come to the library early if you need to use a map from this room.
