Very conveniently located near the SSI lighthouse and Neptune Park. I needed to print something while visiting and was able to do so for $0.25/page.

This library works with an interloan system with about 200 other libraries and you can pretty much get ANY book even if it's not in this library.

I like to request the books I"m interested in online and they notify me via email when book has arrived. I love the system... I'm happy!

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.

The library as a whole is very nice with an extremely helpful and professional staff to assist you. With a Live Oak library account, you can check out and reserve books, DVDs or movies . Children who attend school in the sourounding counties can obtain an account with no overdue book fees. That seems pretty nice This evening I went to see Shawn Gaskell play the Kora (21-string West African Harp) in concert. It was conducted on the second floor of the library. He also explained how the Kora is constructed and told us several stories of his travels in Ghana. As always, I enjoyed my time there and I am looking forward to my next visit.
