Hall County library had to struggle from get-go
Placeholder Image
While in recent years, Hall County Library has expanded its reach with branches in most sections of the county, the road has been bumpy for the public library movement. The first library is credited to a group of Grace Episcopal women headed by Lillie Downey, who established it in the basement of the church in 1930. However, the library movement in Hall County had its beginnings in the 1800s.
