The
Smyrna Public Library is the only independent, city-operated
library in the state of Georgia. Founded in 1936, the library
has grown from an initial collection of a few hundred books
to almost 100,000 books and audiovisual materials.
In 1991 the City opened a new 28,000 square foot facility.
This nationally recognized building is based on the colonial
capitol in Williamsburg. It features an open floor plan with
large windows that provides a warm inviting atmosphere to
250,000 annual visitors.
