Selmians once checked out books in this 100-year-old plus building that now serves The Selma-Dallas County Centre for Commerce. Built as a Carnegie Library, many local people recall the beautiful building they visited as children. Later, the library moved to a larger, new building on Broad Street, and the Dallas County Board of Education moved in. Then, it was renovated, and the Centre for Commerce united its chamber of commerce, economic development authority and tourism development under one roof. It is located on Selma Avenue just a block off Broad Street.

A splendid building to be sure it was. We had one nearly like it and still do in Greenville, Ohio. It is being added to at the moment as it was or is a library like your building used to be. Those buildings were well built and scattered across the country. It is a shame they are being closed down and in some instances demolished.
Nice post. Good story. Really nice picture too.
