The Riverview Branch Library is located just west of Highway 301 on Riverview Drive across from Stower's Funeral Home. Nestled among stately oaks, the 8,000 square foot building sits on 1.75 acres of rustic land. Adding to its setting is a stream that winds its way behind the library.

Riverview's library began in a bus and was originally called Riverview Station. The driving force of the Riverview Library Association, Inc. combined with the Gardinier Corporation's donation of land formerly used as a worm farm turned dreams of a public library in Riverview into reality. The current building opened in 1979 amidst much community pride.

The library offers a wide range of materials and services in traditional and electronic formats. Unique to the Riverview Branch is a magazine and puzzle exchange. A professional staff offers programming for all ages, including monthly adult book discussions, family special events, and weekly children's storytimes. The library also serves as a meeting place for a Saturday afternoon chess club. New members are always welcome.

Today the Riverview Library is enjoying a rise in circulation as the area grows. The Riverview community continues to be a force behind the library. The Friends of the Riverview Library has contributed significantly with such enhancements as ceiling fans, displays, furniture, and landscaping. The staff of the Riverview Branch Library takes great pride in offering friendly neighborhood helpful service.
