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. While avid readers could travel to visit the library in Winterville or on Baxter Street, neither location was easily accessible or within walking distance for East side residents. However, that is about to change. In fall 2027, the Eastside Athens Library will finish construction on 1030 Barnett Shoals Road, backing the North Oconee River Greenway and just down the road from B&B Theaters.
