The Carnegie Library in Lavonia

I spent hours there growing up, as it was next to the elementary school. It's still in use as a library.

The Lavonia Carnegie Library is a historic library building at 28 Hartwell Road in Lavonia, Georgia. It was built in 1911 with funding support from Andrew Carnegie, and is the most architecturally sophisticated building in the small community. It is a single-story buff brick building with Renaissance Revival styling. It served as the Lavonia public library (founded in 1904), until it was merged into the Athens Regional Library System, for which it is now a branch library.The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
