1. Sharon Forks Library Pre- Proposal Meeting Monday, June 1, 2015

2. The objective of the expansion and repurposing project is to address the following concerns: Sharon Forks Library has the second highest usage rate of any public library in Georgia. We project that by 2017, Sharon Forks Library’s materials circulation rate will exceed 1,000,000 checkouts. The Sharon Forks Library’s service area has the highest concentration of K-12 students in Georgia. The population growth of Forsyth County is currently a 4.4% increase per year. We do not anticipate building a second library branch in the Sharon Forks library service area until 2021 or 2022 at the earliest.
