During its April 20 meeting, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved the use of $1 million from the Beltline Tax Allocation District for an enhancement to the book collection of the Fulton County Library System.
The shelf-ready books will be distributed to all of Fulton County’s 34 libraries. Libraries are among Fulton County’s most popular services among more than 1 million residents.
Fulton County Board of Commissioners Vice Chair Liz Hausmann said of the investment, “Libraries benefit everyone in Fulton County across the lifespan. This investment allows tax allocation district funds to benefit the vitality and quality of life of our residents.”
The Fulton County Library System serves as a cultural and intellectual center that enriches the community and empowers all residents with essential tools for lifelong learning.
The Fulton County Library System is the largest in the state, with 34 libraries. It offers innovative programs, services, and virtual resources tailored to meet the needs of each branch's community. Children, teens, and adults may choose from a variety of classes, visit exhibitions, listen to authors discuss their work, check out videos, DVDs, and CDs, attend book club discussions, get homework help, hear music and see live performances.
