Abstract:

In the 1920s, North Carolina did not have a single county library. The Lexington and Thomasville Woman's Club set out to create one in Davidson County. Through their efforts and funds provided by philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, the Davidson County Library opened on October 23,1928, the first public library in the state to open as a county library.
