Gwinnett County Public Library - Norcross Branch

Library rendering

Overview

Part of the city’s mixed-use expansion efforts to stretch Norcross’ downtown area toward Buford Highway (an eight-year project), the City of Norcross partnered with the county to relocate and expand the previously existing library branch to Lillian Webb Park. Designed to be a 21st-century library, this development was approved by the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in 2017 and reflects the city and county’s dedication to meeting the needs of community members, as well as their continued commitment to attracting families and businesses to the Norcross area. 

Highlights

  • Approximately 22,000 square feet 
  • Located on a 1.5-acre site at Lillian Webb Park
  • Includes a community room and larger areas for computer services, creative projects, and interactive programming and services 
  • Features dedicated “maker space” equipped with a 3-D printer and other equipment to facilitate entrepreneurship development 
  • The facility also contains a pedestrian plaza and a parking deck paid for by SPLOST funding
  • At project origin, was estimated to be the most-used library in Gwinnett with over 1,000 visitors per day

Status
