The connected garage has an entrance on Spring St. between 4th and 5th Streets (forsythcreekweek.org), making Spring Street the useful approach when you want to park close to the entrance. The surface lot and the under-building area are free and have no time limits, according to the North Carolina Room directions page (northcarolinaroom.wordpress.com). Library hours are Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (forsyth.cc). The site is 0.4 mi from Winston-Salem centre, so the under-building area is the practical first choice for a library visit. ## Street Parking Around the West 5th Street Library Street parking around the site follows the usual two-hour rule, while the surface lot and under-building area have no time limits (northcarolinaroom.wordpress.com). That distinction matters for longer research sessions, meetings, or visits that run beyond a short errand, because a street space is governed differently from the free library parking areas. Parking is available on the surrounding streets and beneath the building (fas37.org). Events can increase pressure around the site, particularly when the connected garage is being used for a Central Library event, as the garage entrance is on Spring St. between 4th and 5th Streets (forsythcreekweek.org). The library's published hours are Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (forsyth.cc), so those are the main visitor periods to plan around.

Liberty St., 0.4 mi away, at $5 a day. A lot at 623 N Liberty St is 0.5 mi away and costs $55 a month. The site is also close to Winston-Salem centre, at 0.4 mi, so these Liberty Street options suit drivers willing to leave the car farther from the entrance. Two further monthly choices are listed 0.5 mi away at $55 a month and 0.6 mi away in a garage at $62.50 a month. The library's surface lot and under-building area are free and have no time limits (northcarolinaroom.wordpress.com), providing the clearest free alternative to paid nearby parking. Street parking has the usual two-hour rule (northcarolinaroom.wordpress.com). ## Parksy Spaces Within Reach of FCCL Parksy lists a secure outdoor parking space in Winston-Salem with 24/7 access, 0.6 mi from the site, at $2.50 an hour. A covered parking space in Winston-Salem is 5.7 mi away and costs $120 a month, so it is better suited to a longer parking arrangement than a quick library visit. The closer Parksy choices include a space at 495 N. Liberty St, 0.4 mi away, at $5 a day, plus a 623 N Liberty St lot 0.5 mi away at $55 a month. A separate Winston-Salem space is also 0.5 mi away at $55 a month, while a garage space is 0.6 mi away at $62.50 a month. These options give drivers a choice between daily, hourly, and [monthly parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/find-monthly-parking-near-me-practical-guide) outside the library's own free areas. ## Walking and Rail Access to the West 5th Street Site FCCL is at 660 West 5th Street in Winston-Salem, 0.4 mi from Winston-Salem centre. The supplied local directions identify the library's connected garage entrance on Spring St. between 4th and 5th Streets (forsythcreekweek.org), which also provides a clear landmark for drivers arriving from the downtown side. The library can be combined with a walk from central Winston-Salem because the site is 0.4 mi from the city center. Parking is available on surrounding streets and under the building (fas37.org), while the surface lot and under-building area are free with no time limits (northcarolinaroom.wordpress.com).
