South Branch Library, Toledo, Ohio - Carnegie Library Buildings on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
Public library service in Toledo dates back to the 1830s with the formation of the Young Men’s Association Library. The Toledo Public Library opened in 1873 and now lives on as the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library. The Toledo Library initially applied for a Carnegie grant in 1905 to remodel and expand the main library. The request was denied, but a second application was approved in 1915 to build 5 new branch libraries.

Located at the intersection of Broadway and Langdon, the old South branch library building was in use from January 1918 until 27 August 2004. The South branch boasts a large collection of Spanish-language materials. The old building sits vacant across the street from the new branch, somewhat overgrown with weeds and untamed shrubbery but apparently in good repair. The fate of this building is unknown.
