Description
A photo of the Weaver Branch Library with a mother and two children leaving the library.
By late 1959, the idea of building a new segregated branch libray for African American patrons was being regarded as the best way to provide library service to this community. City of Tuscaloosa purchased the property for the location of the Weaver Branch at 2937 19th Street in early 1960. The $29,446 facility opened on December 12, 1960 and was dedicated on February 12, 1961 as the Weaver Branch.
