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.[2] 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.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1984. It is located at 305 West Central Avenue. The library building is now home to the Lowndes County Historical Society and Museum.[4]
