Public Library
The Moody Public Library began in 1978 out of a bookmobile. The library later moved to the Civic Center Building.
Anita Day served as the first Librarian. It was open 13 hours per week. As the library grew, it moved to a portion of the fire station and finally, in October 1992, to the current building behind City Hall.
After Mrs. Day retired, Doris Stanley was appointed the new Librarian Director. It was opened for 40 hours per week. With the passing of Mrs. Stanley, the library was renamed in her memory in June 2000. The current Librarian Director is Patsy Spradley. The library also has two library assistants.
The library offers story time for preschool children on Tuesday's, computer classes on Wednesday's and craft classes on Friday's. All programs start at 10:00 am. Activities are free to the public. There is a monthly Ladies Book Club that meets the first Monday of every month. Starting in July, there will be crocheting classes for anyone interested in learning this craft.
The library has four Internet access computers available for public use.
The Summer Reading Program is every Friday in the month of June. There is professional entertainment along with prizes for the children who read during this month.
The library has over 17,300 books including Accelerated Readers and 842 audios, videos, CDs and DVD's to choose from.
With the help of federal grants, city and county funding, the collection increases each year.
The public can enjoy a nice comfortable reading room to sit back and enjoy a good book or periodical.
