Buckhead Library Update

In February I posted about the Buckhead Public Library, a modern architectural gem in the city of Atlanta, which was in danger of being replaced by a parking garage as part of a massive new development. Thanks to all the public opposition, the library board voted to reject the offer to purchase the property, and the County did not include the purchase in their new library plan, effectively quashing the deal. Moreover, they plan to spend $150 million to renew and expand their library system, including the building of eight new libraries. Way to go Atlanta!
