A beloved piece of Gwinnett history is getting a new chapter. The former Hooper-Renwick School, which once served as the only public high school for Black students in the Gwinnett County school system, has been reimag­ined as a one-of-a-kind themed library and is now open to the public. Inside its preserved brick walls, visitors will find library amenities alongside community space and exhibits that showcase stories, accomplishments, and memorabilia related to the school.

The project was funded by the County’s SPLOST pro­gram with additional contributions from the city of Law­renceville, which also provided the 3.8-acre site, side­walks, lighting, and landscaping for the project.
