• A vacant lot near Chestnut Street and First Street
• The former Forsyth County Sheriff's Office on Third Street
• A vacant lot near Brookstown Avenue and Green Street

Meeting dates, times, and locations are as follows:

You are invited to attend one of these meetings and give your opinion as to where you think a new Central Library should be located from the seven sites listed above.
