The Georgia Historical Society is housed in Hodgson Hall, the headquarters and main library of the…read moreSociety and this building was designed by architect Detlef Lienau, being built in 1876. The Society itself was incorporated in 1839 and now holds the world's largest collection of materials germane to Georgia history. Hodgson Hall is a delightful building with a commodius interior and fine iron-work on the exterior, making a visit feel like a trip to a grand library at one of the world's great universities. Architect Lienau, though German-born, was one of the founders of the American Institute of Architects and though not as well-known as some of America's nineteenth-century architects, did some very innovative work including this building and it is fitting that the Historical Society is housed in a building of such note and merit. The collection itself is not only large but varied and while a lot of it understandably concerns the colonial and Civil War periods of Savannah's lengthy history, it also has interesting architectural and social content regarding the modern and contemporary history of the city and region. The Society also conducts frequent talks and events including special programs for schoolkids, partnerships with local colleges, and other efforts at outreach.

It's a beautiful, historic building, older than the whole city of Seattle (hey, Seattle is where I…read morelive, I can't avoid comparisons) (and yes, nearly all of the buildings in downtown Savannah are beatiful, old and historic, bear with me), and one of the perks of majoring in history at Armstrong in Savannah is that eventually you'll be admitted to the innermost sanctum of the Historical Society (after getting a membership, of course). You won't be able to do your Methodology paper without access to the boxes kept in a climate controlled environment that you have to sign for and can't leave the building with, but it's worth it to leaf through the 90 year old Grand Tour diary of the 10 year old son of a doctor who was one of the earliest users of the X-Ray. I think he died of radiation poisoning. Imagine that. It's a cool and quiet library with big wood tables, little lamps and a gallery running around the room. Just what you'd picture. The people working there are cool, quiet, smart and helpful, and if you appreciate libraries, history, books, and/or architecture, you should visit.

What brought me in today was simple where I live Latitude Margaritaville we get a bookmobile that visits regularly. In fact I was able to get my new library card there. Unfortunately I won't be around to return the books when they are due so I thought I would take the drive rather than pay late fees. Nice location and lots of parking. Once inside I am directed where to drop off the books on a cart. It was pretty nice inside with rows of computers and even a section to read the latest magazines. All this is great information for me as if I have any visitors this would be a great place to take them. Look forward to using their services regularly.

I went in the other day to apply for a library card and the gal helping me was beyond phenomenal. She was so helpful and explained all the rules and freebies to me. The computers are easy to use and find what you're looking for. I was able to find a genera of books within a few minutes of research. I've been to this location a few times and it's never really busy however I do what to add it does seem like a "teen hangout" spot. Which in reality, if they are utilizing the services, is a good thing. Overall I would recommend this library for the location, availability of book, and polite staff members. Again getting a library card was very easy and they are willing to work with you to get you a card; just tell them your situation.

It's really nice. They have a room where you could read with your kids. They have story time.read more

The staff is super nice and if you'd like an item that's not available they'll have it shipped to any one of the libraries throughout the entire county .

You can explore not only the books but the plaques, displays, and other materials that are entwined within the spaces. The amount of technology they make available to the residents is amazing! The creative programs and activities they offer the younger generations are truly a gift to the community. All the staff we encountered were so knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. We didn't have much time to take it all in. So a repeat visit is on the books.

I love that if you are in a rush, just call ahead and they will bring your book out to the car as you go through the line :-) at Christmas time they gave me a gingerbread house for the kids to build :-) this summer they had an amazing reading program for kids in Beaufort County to participate in. If you order a book or something else through the library, you can sign up to be texted, emailed, or called when your items arrive. In my case, I get all three!

Five stars for a comfortable library where I was able to connect and get some online work done…read more This is a big library (certainly bigger than McClellanville but not as big as Mount Pleasant) but it absolutely had everything I needed today. It would be nice if the parking was free, but I guess too many people were parking in the library lot all day and going elsewhere. I found a work carrel where I could plug in both my laptops, though it was a bit of a stretch to the power outlet (I need to start carrying a small power strip!) but quiet. I took a Zoom call or two here without disturbing anyone and still got a bunch of work emails done. Lots of books, DVDs and reference materials. Of course, you need to be a local resident to borrow any of that but anyone is allowed to use the library and the wifi is free for anyone to use.
