Unless Bibb approves funds, Washington Memorial Library set to close Aug. 16

Washington Memorial Library has been the last library open in Bibb County since early July

Due to lack of funding in the proposed budget, Washington Memorial Library is set to close its doors in a week.

The other Bibb County library branches are already closed due to insufficient funding.

Shurling, Riverside, and the Charles A. Lanford Branch Public Libraries have been closed since early July.
