Library

W.G. Rhea Public Library, located near the center of downtown Paris, has some of the most friendly and helpful folks in town. Every week during the school year, the children's library comes alive during story hour in the Franklyn Thompson Room. The library has a conference room and large meeting room available for public use. Look for special exhibits and programs throughout the year. The Rhea public library is a genealogist's paradise. The W.O. Inman-Henry County Room holds hundreds of books, microfilm reels, and CD's to help you climb your family tree. You are bound to find a "cousin" here as Henry County was located on a major pioneer route during the early settlement of the western United States.
