General Info

Moon Lake Library is Mentone's municipal public library, founded in 2002. It offers an up-to-date collection of books and DVDs for check out. Visitors and locals alike enjoy its ongoing used book sale, which is a major fundraiser for the library. The library sponsors programs including author talks, featured speakers on specific topics, children's activities, movie and game nights, and a book club. Almost all programs are free and open to the public. Fun fact: Mentone is the smallest town in the state to have its own municipal library. The library was developed originally to serve both Moon Lake School and the town of Mentone. When the school closed in 2021, the nonprofit board that had guided the library since its creation, applied for and received approval in 2022 to become a part of the Alabama Public Library Service.Moon Lake Library is Mentone's municipal public library, founded in 2002.
