Technical Services and Mobile Services (the Bookmobile and Delivery) are located at the Atlee Branch.
The library system is named after the Pamunkey River, a ninety-mile river that begins twenty miles north of Richmond, Virginia, where it joins the North and South Anna rivers. The Pamunkey River goes on to divide Hanover and King William counties, It joins its sister river, the Mattaponi, near West Point, where they create the York River.
The Hanover Branch of the Pamunkey Regional Library opened its doors on October 22, 1942. It was one of eleven libraries donated to rural Virginia counties by Mr. David K. E. Bruce. Mr. Bruce also donated equipment and a book collection. The library was built to resemble 18th century architecture. The Hanover Branch also houses a Virginiana collection that includes local history and genealogy.
