Our Libraries

The Eastern Shore of Virginia has four public libraries, located in Cape Charles and Nassawadox in Northampton County and in Chincoteague and Parksley in Accomack County. All four libraries are connected by “technical services,” and share a central catalog, interlibrary loans, and other services and activities.
