The Fulton County Library System celebrated the opening of its 32nd project, the largest library to be renovated as part of a 2008 Bond Referendum which called for the building and expansion of 10 libraries and the renovation of 22 libraries in the Library System, including its Central Library and System Headquarters.
The celebration was attended by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, all seven members were in attendance, the Library Board of Trustees, the leadership team from Fulton County Government, and the amazing architects and construction team that made up the design/build team for the project. Members of the design team from both Cooper Carry, Inc and Moody Nolan, as well as Winter Construction, were a part of the celebratory day.
