Two libraries from the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System have been named among Georgia’s 10 most beautiful.
The Buckhead Branch Library and the Metropolitan Library earned two of the ten spots on the list. The libraries were chosen out of 60 submissions in a contest held by the Georgia Public Library Service. A “panel of public library and architecture professionals” reviewed the submissions and whittled the list of 60 down to the 10 most striking libraries in the Peach State.
The panel included Georgia Tech Associate Vice Provost Leslie Sharp, who also teaches in the school’s College of Architecture, and former Atlanta Urban Design Commission Chair Allyson McCarthy, currently an architect and partner with Turco McCarthy Architecture and Design.
Georgia’s most beautiful libraries are:
- The Mary Willis Library in Washington
- The Carnegie Branch Library in Savannah
- The Washington Memorial Library in Macon
- The St. Simons Island Public Library
- The Buckhead Branch Library in Atlanta
- The Columbus Public Library
- The Hamilton Mill Library in Dacula
- The Dog River Public Library in Douglasville
- The Porter Memorial Library in Covington
- The Metropolitan Library in Atlanta
