The Booker T. Washington Library was a library located in three rooms on the ground floor of the Masonic Temple Building at at 1630 4th Avenue North. When the branch opened in 1918, the Booker T. Washington Library was one of the first lending libraries in Alabama open to black patrons. In 1956, the branch collection was moved to the Smithfield Library, 1 8th Avenue West, the first structure built for the specific purpose of housing a library for black patrons.
