The Carnegie Room an area is dedicated to the youngest of patrons and features computers, books, and a reading area just for children. Built in 1916, it boasts exquisite original hardwood shelves, floors, window frames, and fixtures, a fireplace, marble fountain, and a beautiful robin’s egg blue ceiling. The original circulation desk from the Carnegie Library is still in use today.
The Alice Walker Mini-Museum was provided by funding from the Georgia Public Library Service Community Partnership Grant. This mini museum features limited edition books donated from Alice Walker’s personal collection, an original Carnegie writing desk and photos taken during the Alice Walker 75 Day in 2019. A glass case was purchased to protect and secure these limited edition books, namely one particular copy of “The Color Purple” signed by Alice Walker, sits on the very top shelf allowing visitors to view her signature. Two other bookshelves were added to showcase other books written by Alice Walker and other local authors to provide patrons with an opportunity to appreciate and enjoy their work.
This grant was received in partnership with the Georgia Writers Museum located in Downtown Eatonton. Melissa Swindell, director of the Georgia Writers Museum, worked with Dr. Chip Bell to donate a Remington typewriter to our mini-museum. This typewriter serves as a replica of the 162 Smith Corona typewriter used by Alice Walker, believed to be a gift from her mother as she left Eatonton for college at Spelman College in Atlanta. On Aug 2, 2023 Larry Moore visited the min-museum and provided several stories of his friendship with Alice Walker. Going forward, this mini-museum will inspire generations of young readers and writers by means of the A. W. Writers Guild set to begin in Fall 2023. Our team at Eatonton-Putnam County Library is very proud of this opportunity to honor Alice Walker in such a prestigious manner.
