Draft:Okolona Carnegie Library

The Okolona Carnegie Library, located at 321 Main Street, is a public library in Okolona, Mississippi. It received funding as a Carnegie Library, was designed by John Gaisford of Memphis, and opened in 1915. The grounds formerly included a park with a wading pool. The Okolona Carnegie Library became part of the Dixie Regional System in 1977 and a new addition was added in 1986 tripling shelf space and added a conference room. The library is a Mississippi Landmark. In 2022, it was a finalist for further renovations, but the outcome is unknown. The first librarian was May McDowell McGeHee who had graduated the same year from high-school.

It originally had one large room on the ground floor and a basement with four small rooms and two bathrooms. A "Story Labyrinth" is in front of the library.
