Services at 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 will be held at 10 a.m. Aug. 18 at the new library, 1917 Candler Road. DeKalb County CEO Burrell Ellis and other local dignitaries will be on hand for the ribbon cutting and tour of the new 12,000 square-foot library.
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.
