The [[South Georgia Regional Library]] operates the Walter R. & Dorothy Salter Hahira Library. For years, the public library of Hahira consisted of a few thousand books in a small room in City Hall, operated by Jackie Matthews and open only on Thursday afternoons. The state of Georgia then launched a grant program to its cities, promising funds that would pay 90 percent of construction and furnishings to local governments that matched funds and provided land. Hahira citizens were divided, torn between serious water and sewage issues and their own public library. Ultimately, Hahira, which was known during the 1920s as the Queen Bee Capital of the World, built a library, which opened on March 12, 1989.

The library acquired its name from Walter R. Salter, a former mayor, councilman, and local business owner who had long desired a library for the community. Upon his death in 1984, his wife Dorothy came forward with a gift of $30,000. Dorothy was present at the library's formal dedication and Clara Vinson was named as its first manager. Salter Hahira Library is widely used by educators and home school families in the community. The Salter Hahira Library has earned a reputation of friendliness and hospitality. It serves as a community center for Hahira, and a touchstone for local storytelling.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Salter Hahira Library|url=https://sgrl.org/locations/salter-hahira-library/|access-date=2020-11-25|website=South Georgia Regional Libraries|language=en}}</ref> In 2010, the library received an $80,000 renovation, completed by Cauthan Construction Company, of the exterior and interior.<ref>"[http://www.sgrl.org/index.php/find-a-branch/salter-hahira-library Salter Hahira Library]."
