Eva H. Perry Library 919-387-2100

In 1985, the Town of Apex received a generous gift from Mrs. Eva H. Perry. In her will Mrs. Perry instructed that the proceeds from the sale of her land go to the town to be used for the sole purpose of providing the community with a new library. The Town of Apex partnered with Wake County Public Libraries to build a regional library that serves the southwest region of the county. The Eva H. Perry Regional Library was opened in January 1996. The distinctive 23,000-square-foot building provides a particularly appealing setting for library users. It has large overhead skylights, a glass-enclosed quiet reading room, an attractive conference room available for public use, and a tree house for children’s programming. One of the most unique features is a 1,400-square-foot mural painted on the wall of the Youth Services Department depicting characters from children’s literature. Terri Luke managed the library from its opening in 1996 until 2005.
