The Crozet Library is a branch of the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library housed in a former railroad depot. Plans for an expanded library are currently on hold due to Albemarle County's revenue shortfall.

Plans for new facility

A new library was called for in the 2004 Crozet Master Plan. The Board of Supervisors approved construction of a 20,000 square-foot building in March 2007, and appropriated just under $10 million in capital funds[1]. When built, the structure will be LEED-certified. The architect is Grimm & Parker[citation needed].

Construction postponed

Construction had been scheduled to begin in spring 2010 with completion in 2011[2]. However, the County's budget constraints removed the project from the Capital Improvement Program[3].
