History

Alabama's created legislation for a tax-supported State Law Library available to legislators on January 19, 1828.[3]: 12  Alabama didn't create a separate agency for funding and administering public libraries until 1959 and did not create a tax-supported system serving every county until 1974.[3]: 14  Much of the public library development in the state was done by the Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs (AFWC) and the Alabama Library Association.[3]: 22  The Alabama Department of Archives was created in 1901 and expanded to include a Library Extension Division in 1907.[3]: 28  That group helped manage library development in the state and was also charged with acquiring statistics about libraries in Alabama.[3]: 29  In 1931 the Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs and the Alabama Library Association promoted legislation that would create and fund a state library agency but it was vetoed by Governor Benjamin Miller.[3]: 47  In March of 1939, the Public Library Service Division (PLSD) was created within the Alabama Department of Archives with a small budget and its own executive board separate from ADH, with Lois Ranier Green as its first director.[3]: 51  When the Works Progress Administration Library Program was created in 1935, it funded 523 workers in Alabama and doubled the PLSD's funding.[3]: 54  By 1974, all Alabama counties had access free tax-supported public libraries.[3]: 77
