The Carnegie Library School of Atlanta (1905 - 1988) was a training school for librarians in Atlanta, Georgia.[1] Emory University has a collection of the school's files.[2] Originally known as Southern Library School, it opened September 20, 1905, with Anne Wallace as its director.[3] It affiliated with Emory University in 1925 and remained the only nationally accredited library school until 1930. It closed in 1988.[3]
In 1921, the Director of the Carnegie Library School, Tommie Dora Barker, opened the Auburn Avenue Branch Library, the first branch library for blacks in Atlanta.[4] A Carnegie Library, it was located in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood.[5] The Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History succeeded it.
