Gwinnett County will host a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the completion of the new Norcross Branch of the Gwinnett County Public Library. This will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 26 at 3 p.m., at 5735 Buford Highway, Norcross, Ga. 30071
The new branch — located on a 1.6-acre site connected to Lillian Webb Park — is about twice as large as the previous Norcross Branch facility. Features include 45 computer stations, three learning labs, two study rooms, a meeting room that can fit 120 people, an outdoor pedestrian plaza and a 128-space parking deck.
The library and parking deck are the result of a partnership with the city of Norcross. The County’s share of the project is funded by the 2009 and 2014 SPLOST programs.
Gwinnett County Public Library Executive Director Charles Pace will emcee the event. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Nicole Hendrickson, District 2 Commissioner Ben Ku, Norcross Mayor Craig Newton and Gwinnett County Public Library Board of Trustees Chair Dr. Wandy Taylor will provide remarks.
