The Huntsville-Madison County Public Library is a public library system based in Huntsville, Alabama, operating 13 branches to serve Madison County. Founded in 1818, when Alabama was part of the Mississippi Territory, it is the state's oldest continuously operating library. The system maintains a collection of more than 500,000 items and aims to support lifelong learning by providing access to materials, information, and programs across its communities. In addition to its physical collection, HMCPL offers outreach services, online resources, training, and a broad digital collection, along with public-use computers and free Wi-Fi, plus meeting spaces. It also supports outreach through a BookMobile and a BookBike. In March 2026, it partnered with Madison Visionary Partners to host a Community Volunteer Fair in Madison.
