It's been several yrs since I've been now, Mr. Ladson has died since I was there, so I don't know what, if any, changes may have been made - as I understood when I went several times, the books, etc belonged to Mr. Jack Ladson & the Ohoopee Regional Library maintained their facilities, I believe. Mrs. Emily Hartz was there when I would go & she was a pure genius at finding anything they had! Treat yourself & visit that one - another of course is Macon's Washington Memorial Lib, as well as Huxford Gen Library in Homerville......so if you have a chance to go & haven't been to those, you're in for more treats! Good luck, Sarah Howell Studstill
