Atlanta’s Downtown Library Takes Computers To The Park During Closure

While the downtown library closes for as long as two years for renovations, the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System has opened an outdoor computer lab in Woodruff Park.

In a shady corner of Woodruff Park, Amanda Densmore sets up 10 laptops on colorful little cafe tables.

She explains why she picked the spot next to the park’s huge waterfall-like fountain.

“With the water going, it’s a little calmer,” Densmore said. “I guess we’re still going with the library theme of a quiet place.”
