Library Story Spotlight: Dr. Otis Johnson


"The Library held mysteries that unfolded for me because I could read about so many things that I had never experienced. But then it became real and it became a possibility if I wanted to work toward it, or if I wanted to do more research on it. I could make dreams come true."


~ Dr. Otis Johnson, former Mayor of Savannah
