Hanna Levi Memorial Library / Manning Library
Hanna Levi Memorial Library
The Hannah Levi Memorial Library, built
in 1909-1910, grew out of a library fund
begun in 1905 by the children of Moses
and Hannah Levi, along with proceeds
from the sale of Moses Levi Memorial
Institute. A matching grant from the city
of Manning and a public fund raising
effort helped complete this Classical
revival building. It was possibly designed
by Shand & Lafaye, architects for the
county courthouse.
