It is located at 316 N. Montgomery Ave. From Hwy 72 in Muscle Shoals, take E 2nd St. until N Montgomery Ave, then go north. The library is on the corner of N Montgomery Ave. and 4th St. It is open Monday – Friday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. \r\n\r\nIn 1890, a group of women came together and lended books out of their own personal collections. In 1919, the library found a home in the Red Cross building on the corner of 5th St. and Montgomery Ave. In 1948, the city of Sheffield let the library use the municipal building. That same year, the Friends of the Sheffield Library formed in 1948 as a non-profit corporation with the purpose of providing the library with its own building and to encourage the use of the library by the public. This organization purchased a building on the corner of 5th St. and Nashville Ave. and donated it to the city of Sheffield as a public library in 1963. In 1974, the library moved to a larger building. The Friends purchased the building next to the library in 1983. This building has since been turned into a conference room and local history room."},{"label":"Creator","value":"Jacob Grandstaff, University of North Alabama"},{"label":"Source","value":"“Sheffield Public Library,” Accessed November 16, 2015, http://www1.youseemore.com/sheffieldpl/default.asp."},{"label":"Publisher","value":"Alabama Cultural Resource Survey"}],"sequences":[{"@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif/1525/sequence/normal","@type":"sc:Sequence","label":"Current Page Order","viewingDirection":"left-to-right","viewingHint":"paged","canvases":[{"@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif/1525/canvas/p1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"20151119_164052.jpg","thumbnail":{"@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif-img/1069/full/200%2C113/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif-img/1069","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"width":3264,"height":1836,"images":[{"@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif/1525/annotation/p0001-image","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif-img/1069/full/800%2C450/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":3264,"height":1836,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif-img/1069","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif/1525/canvas/p1"}]},{"@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif/1525/canvas/p2","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"20151119_163657.jpg","thumbnail":{"@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif-img/1070/full/200%2C113/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif-img/1070","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"width":3264,"height":1836,"images":[{"@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif/1525/annotation/p0002-image","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif-img/1070/full/800%2C450/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":3264,"height":1836,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif-img/1070","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif/1525/canvas/p2"}]},{"@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif/1525/canvas/p3","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"20151119_163708.jpg","thumbnail":{"@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif-img/1071/full/200%2C113/0/default.jpg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif-img/1071","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"width":3264,"height":1836,"images":[{"@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif/1525/annotation/p0003-image","@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif-img/1071/full/800%2C450/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","width":3264,"height":1836,"service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif-img/1071","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json"}},"on":"https://omeka.lib.auburn.edu/iiif/1525/canvas/p3"}]}]}]}
