Hall’s Living Library
“A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert.”
Andrew Carnegie
For Readers of All Ages
Hall’s Living Library is a collection of almost 20,000 treasured children’s books—most from the Golden Era of Children’s Literature. The library is owned by Mrs. Sandy Hall and housed at Pray’s Mill Baptist Church in Douglasville, GA. Sandy is a veteran homeschool mother for more than 25 years, and has collected these books over the past 50 years.
Yearly family membership fees are $150. It’s not just about the books; it’s about the friendships and relationships built. Library memberships are open to the public. If you are looking for an alternative to the public library’s books, please contact Sandy Hall for a tour to see if the library is a good fit for your family!
