Mary Willis Library at 204 East Liberty Street, Washington, Georgia.

The Mary Willis Library in Washington, GA is an absolutely charming place staffed by such friendly people. I recently spent several days in Washington being sheltered by friends after having to evacuate the Georgia coast due to Hurricane Matthew. Having access to this library and books to read helped fill the anxious hours until I was able to return home. It was also delightful to tour the Mary Willis Library, which is the first free public library in the state of Georgia, built in the Queen Anne style in 1889. It even has stained glass windows. I enjoyed my visit very much.
