In 1973, the Goochland Branch opened in a portion of the former Bank of Goochland building. The library outgrew the entire building by 2002 and plans were made for a new building to be built not far away. 
Erected in 2003, the new library includes a meeting room for book discussion groups and meetings of various community organizations, a Storytime well for children's story hours, colorful murals painted by local artist Patti Rosner, and much more as it expands its collections and services.
