📖 About Lawrenceville Hooper-Renwick Branch

The Lawrenceville Hooper-Renwick Branch, opened in 1990 and reopened in 2025 after a major renovation, sits at 56 Neal Boulevard — distinct from GCPL's administrative offices on Lawrenceville Highway. It is the system's only themed library, built around the Hooper-Renwick Black Studies Collection: a specialized set of print and digital materials on African American history and the African diaspora, including digitized newspapers from 1825 to 1995 and an on-site reference reading room. The branch also houses a Learning Lab makerspace.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Hooper-Renwick Black Studies Collection?

It is a specialized collection housed only at this branch, covering African American history and the African diaspora — nonfiction and fiction for all ages, digitized African American newspapers and periodicals (1825–1995) and civil-rights primary sources — with a dedicated on-site reading room and related community events.

Is this branch the same as GCPL's headquarters?

No. GCPL's administrative offices are at 1001 Lawrenceville Highway; the Hooper-Renwick public branch is about a mile away at 56 Neal Boulevard, Lawrenceville, GA 30046.

Does the branch have a makerspace and meeting room?

Yes to both — a Learning Lab makerspace (free for cardholders 13+) with 3D printers, Cricut machines, recording equipment and Adobe Creative Cloud, plus a meeting room seating up to 100, reservable online with a per-hour fee and 48 hours' notice.
