The Peachtree Corners branch of the Gwinnett County Public Library will be closing to get a new roof.

The branch will close Monday, Oct. 20. It is expected to re-open Sunday, Oct. 26, once all inspections have been passed.

Residents who plan to pick up a book or other item at that branch can have their materials sent to another location. During the period the branch is closed, fines for checked-out materials will be waived.

For any questions, call the Library Help Line at 770-978-5154, or text 770-450-5305.
