ATLANTA -
The Atlanta Public Library has dedicated monthly exhibit space in
its entry for community collections. July featured an exhibit of
materials related to Seward H. Fields who donated the land on which
the Library sits. In August, Betty McLellan showed her Route 66
memorabilia, and in September, visitors will be able to see
photographs and other materials related to Atlanta’s Fall Festival
history.
