Carnegie Library of Valdosta Carnegie Library of Valdosta The Carnegie Library of Valdosta is a Carnegie library building in Valdosta, Georgia. It was constructed in 1913 for $40,000, with help from a $15,000 Carnegie grant. It was the first building designed by local architect Lloyd V. Greer. It opened in 1914. Decades later it became a branch library and then the base for the Lowndes County Historical Society. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1984. It is located at 305 West Central Avenue. Originally part of the South Georgia Regional Library, the library building is now home to the Lowndes County Historical Society and Museum.
The last of 26 Carnegie libraries built in Georgia. Now a museum of Valdosta history which pretty much leaves out its black slavery history. In other words, a museum to the white folk of Valdosta.
