We're from Alachua County, FL where we have an incredible book sale every year. We love libraries and love supporting them whenever we can. The outside of this building is gorgeous and the interior does not disappoint. It looks so old. The staff at the circulation desk was friendly. We wandered around a bit downstairs. They have computers to use, plenty of adult books and movies downstairs. We took the elevator up, and found the Youth Services area. The YS room is adorable. Lots of books, playaways, cute decor. We moved into the book sale after. It was the last day of the sale, so the deal was to fill up a box (they had boxes available!) for $5. We spent about an hour here. The women at the sale were amazing. They told us about FOL's current project to update the bathrooms at the library. That we needed to take as many books as we could because whatever wasn't bought would be recycled. The whole time they were dutifully boxing some of the books to send to other libraries around Alabama with smaller collections. It was a wonderful atmosphere and a reminder of the kindness I've always seen in people who are passionate about libraries. If you're driving through and have any interest in libraries, Eufaula Carnegie Library is worth the stop.

The Wiregrass Museum of Art is a small museum located in downtown Dothan and is presumably named…read moreafter the Wiregrass Region in which Dothan sits. The museum is free and open Wednesday through Friday from 10am to 5pm and Saturday from 10am to 3pm. They are closed on Sunday and open on Monday and Tuesday by appointment only. Free parking is located on-site. We visited this museum on Saturday afternoon, October 8, 2016. There wasn't much to see because they were between exhibits, though I'm not sure there is a whole lot to see on a regular day. The museum consists only of a couple floors with both permanent and temporary exhibitions. Most of the art we saw consisted of paintings. Art is not my forte, though I did take art history in college. I would consider most of the paintings we saw modern art. Downstairs, they were setting up new paintings that had just been dropped off by the artist earlier in the morning. They looked like paintings of countrysides and houses. Further in was an exhibition called "Assimilation: From Clay to Cotton. The Pottery of Guadalupe Lanning Robinson." The main showroom floor was located on this level, but it was roped off in preparation of a new exhibition. I guess we came at a bad time. There was a third level which we also explored. The stairwell had an interesting wire (?) art installation of flying black crows that looked like they had been penciled into the air. There were also a couple large works on the walls. The third level consisted of offices and what looked like a community art room (e.g. for art instruction/classes). Perhaps they do a lot of community engagement here. The lady at the front desk was nice. She explained what exhibits were currently available. There was a security guard who was friendly too. We were the only folks inside the building during our visit save for one couple who exited shortly after we entered. Even though the museum is free, they do have a donation cash box if you want to make a donation. According to a sign just inside the entrance, the building was the Dothan Municipal Light and Water Plant from 1913 to 1949. The museum moved into the building in the early 1990s. Compared to other museums I've been to, there just isn't a lot here. Therefore, I give the Wiregrass Museum of Art two Yelp stars: "Meh, I've experienced better." It's not a bad museum by any means and appropriate for a city the size of Dothan.

This apparently is one of them, at least for me.

There were about a dozen cars in a lot that's holds 100s of cars and there are no signs restricting any type of parking anyplace. The security guy at the entrance sent a security guard on a golf cart to run me off but the security guard said he didn't know why. We decided to enter the museum and when we stopped at the metal detector the guard standing there said if that's your RV you have to leave. Other people around couldn't believe it either. It might be a great museum but the rude security guard on a power trip has absolutely ZERO common sense. That's my RV in the red circle at the back of the parking lot.
