Libraries to close for renovation

The Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System will close two South Fulton libraries included in the Library Renovation Program. The East Point Library will be closed to the public starting June 5. The Fairburn Library will be closed starting June 13, according to a press release.

Extensive renovation work, as part of the Library’s Capital Improvement Program, Phase II project will be done to both. East Point and Fairburn are part of Group 4 in the renovation plan; Group 1 libraries kicked off exterior renovations earlier this month.

BuildSmart/Tebarco has contracted with Fulton County to provide design, engineering and construction management services for the projects and Heery/ Russell is the program manage- ment team.
