A New Chapter for the East Side: Athens welcomes new library off Barnett Shoals Rd.
In the past, those who live on the East side of Athens have not had a convenient library space outside of schools.

Back in 1996, football stadiums didn’t have jumbotrons. So, to see the play, Seiler and Uga V had to move closer to the field to follow the action. “It was a long play,” Seiler says. “An Auburn player made a good play.
