Atlanta City Council Backtracks On Building New Central Library

Atlanta’s City Council passed a nonbinding resolution Monday calling for construction of a new Central Library building downtown.

But this confused Fulton County officials, who are still gathering input on whether to renovate the building, designed by Bauhaus-trained architect Marcel Breuer, or demolish it.

At Wednesday’s Atlanta-Fulton Public Library’s board of trustees meetings, Atlanta City Council members explained it was a misunderstanding.
