The Athens-Clarke County Government is inviting local artists to submit ideas for an interior mural to be painted in the new Eastside Library coming to Athens soon. The selected artists will work with government officials and library stakeholders to enhance the experience of going to the library, while also celebrating and representing the city of Athens. 

The stakeholder group for the new library laid out some key themes for the mural to follow: literacy, storytelling, local history, literary themes, learning and community. The mural should be an expression of the vibrant and diverse Athens community.
