A Lexington Heritage: 
The Smith Library

​When Andrew Carnegie libraries were being built across the U.S., a Lexington benefactress, Mrs. Emily Smith Van Dolah, gave the people of Lexington the means to build a library to house the existing Lexington Public Library collection.

 

She requested the building to be named in honor of her parents.
