Celebrate Thanksgiving At Your Library!

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only one week away! If you're looking for some fun family activities to get you in the spirit of things, look no further than the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System! Many of our branches will continue to have Thanksgiving-themed storytimes, crafts and programs right up until we close for the holiday. And while you're here enjoying one of our programs, why not browse the cookbook aisle to get inspired with some new holiday recipes! Remember that all branches of the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System will close on Wednesday, November 27 at 6:00 p.m. and will remain closed on Thursday and Friday. We will reopen on Saturday, November 30, 2013. We wish all of our patrons a very safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Please join us for a presentation regarding the South Fulton Library expansion project! McAfee3 Architects was asked to study the existing site at the South Fulton Library to determine the feasibility of expanding the existing building and its on-site parking. The group will present their findings at this community meeting.

Phase I of the Library Building Program includes 8 new libraries and 2 expanded libraries. Design has begun on several of the projects, with construction beginning in late 2013 and openings beginning late 2014 and continuing into 2015.
