The Frank and Laura Lewis Library opened to the campus on the first day of spring semester in 2009. At the suggestion of the lead donor to the project (Callaway Foundation, Inc.), the 45,000 square-foot facility was named for the late Frank and Laura Lewis. Frank Lewis (1931 – 2006) served at LaGrange College as a librarian for two years and as the Director of the William and Evelyn Banks Library for 24 years. He was the first African-American member of the faculty and later of the Board of Trustees of LaGrange College. Laura Scott Lewis (1931 – 2003) served as librarian and Assistant Director for the Troup/Coweta/Harris Regional Library System for 34 years. She initially was the librarian for the Union Street Library. Both Frank and Laura were very active in the LaGrange community—he as a longtime sports official and she as a volunteer with the Girl Scouts.
