"This brief survey of the history of the development of libraries in Georgia serves as a background for the present study of the history and development of the Flint River Regional Library, a five-county system with headquarters in Griffin, Georgia. This particular library was chosen for three reasons: (1) its history had never been written, (2) its present director, Roberrt N. Smith, requested that a history of the Library be written, (3) the author is on the Library's staff and, therefore, has a deep interest in the subject. Since it is believed that the history and development of the Flint River Regional Library has been a reflection of public library development in Georgia, the study attempts to reveal these reflections"--Pages 10-11.

Using the Atlanta, Birmingham, and Nashville Public Libraries as case studies, The Development of Southern Public Libraries and the African American Quest for Library Access, 1898-1963 argues that public libraries played an integral role in Southern cities’ economic and cultural boosterism efforts during the New South and Progressive Eras. First, Southern public libraries helped institutionalize segregation during the early twentieth century by refusing to serve African Americans, or only to a limited degree. Yet, the Progressive Era’s emphasis on self-improvement and moral uplift influenced Southern public libraries to the extent that not all embraced total segregation. It even caused Southern public libraries to remain open to the idea of slowly expanding library service to African Americans. Later, libraries’ social mission and imperfect commitment to segregation made them prime targets for breaking down the barriers of segregation in the post- World War II era. In this study, Dallas Hanbury concludes that dealing with the complicated and unexpected outcomes of having practiced segregation constituted a difficult and lengthy process for Southern public libraries.
