Summer Reading Program: provides a popular literature and literacy based program for families. 2. Continuing Education: provides training and staff development opportunities for all staff. 3. Public Art: allows for the design of a historical photographic representation of the Evans/Rosedale community to be displayed in the new Shamblee Branch Library. 4.
