Sharon Forks Library Pre-Proposal MeetingMonday, June 1, 2015

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.
