New Milton Library Groundbreaking Event!

Mark your calendars now! The Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System will hold a Groundbreaking Event for your new Milton Library on Thursday, May 29 at 11:00 a.m. The new 25,000-square-foot library for Milton is part of Phase I of the Library Building Program, currently underway. The library will be located at 855Mayfield Road in Milton.

Stevens &Wilkinson, in association with 720 Design, is contracted with Fulton County to provide design and engineering services for the new library. TurnerConstruction Company is contracted to provide construction management services on this project, and Heery/Russell is the program management team.

The grand opening of the Milton Library is expected in the 2^nd quarter of 2015. 

In November 2008, Fulton County voters overwhelmingly passed the Library Bond Referendum. The plan will greatly enhance all of the county’s libraries, and includes:

8 New Branch Libraries: Alpharetta, East Roswell, Milton, Northwest Atlanta, Palmetto, Southeast Atlanta, Stewart-Lakewood and Wolf Creek.

Two expansion projects: Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History and the South Fulton Library.

Green building design and sustainability are priorities for these library building projects, and the Library System expects to achieve LEED Silver on all of the Phase I projects. Each library will reflect the culture and interests of its community. You can also stay up-to-date on the Library Building Program by visiting  our website.
