A $4 million renovation is coming to the Gainesville branch of the Hall County Library System after Gov. Nathan Deal signed off on $2 million in state funding on Wednesday. Tucked into the 2019 state budget is an annual library grant from the University System of Georgia that runs up to a maximum of $2 million — and this year, it’s coming to Hall County. The Gainesville branch was passed over by the regents in 2017, but earned the top spot in a list of library projects from around the state.
