The Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library is a stunning facility located adjacent to a bustling main thoroughfare (Duke Street). However, access is conveniently provided via N Pickett Street, featuring a spacious parking lot surrounded by mature trees that offer ample shade.

Athens Building Corporation has been granted the contract for exterior renovations and waterproofing at the Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library. The construction will involve updates to the masonry features, installation of new storefront windows and doors, as well as waterproofing and site drainage improvements.
