The new Scott Candler branch of the DeKalb County library system will open on Aug. 20, with a dedication ceremony the weekend before.
The dedication of the 12,000 square-foot facility will be held at 10 a.m. Aug. 18 at the new library, 1917 Candler Road, near Decatur.
The new branch is part of a mixed-use development that is to eventually include a new senior center and senior housing. The facility will hold 30,000 volumes, have 27 public-access computers and includes a 90-seat meeting room.
Work on the new facility began last year and is part of a $54.5 million project to expand, renovate and add 13 libraries to the county.
