Last week, I had the opportunity to visit the Amelia Givin Library in Mt. Holly. Built in 1889, the Amelia Givin library marked the first free public library in Cumberland County. A year later, with its impressive architecture and fully stocked shelves, the library opened to the public. In 2004, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and it continues to serve Mt. Holly and the surrounding communities to this day.
The Amelia Givin Library is an amazing local resource for learning, entertainment and more. Make sure to check out the library and the educational programming it offers!

Who we Are
It all started with one phone call asking for a story about the old church on Cedar Street. This call and the resulting stories from the Gumby Family led to an overwhelming turnout of neighbors and volunteers. It all started with a phone call and the Ward/Smith family found the grave of their grandfather/great grandfather. Mt. Tabor Preservation Project has grown out of those first phone calls. The Preservation believes the church and cemetery are an important piece of history and the goal is to ensure that both are on course to be recognized and maintained.
