Peachtree City Council approves renaming library as MT Allen Memorial Library
Summary
The council voted unanimously to rename the Peachtree City Library the MT Allen Memorial Library and approved a budget amendment to pay for updated signage. The motion passed with a single voice vote at the morning session.
Peachtree City officials voted to rename the municipal library the MT Allen Memorial Library and approved a related budget amendment to fund a new sign.
Councilmember Holland moved to approve the renaming and the associated budget amendment; the motion was seconded and carried after the mayor called for a voice vote. The mayor announced, “Motion carries,” following an unchallenged series of “aye” responses from council.
The naming followed a public comment from Ashley Aubrey Mitchell, who told the council she had worked in local education and described M.T. Allen’s decades of volunteer service to the library and the community. Mitchell said the honoree “loved the library” and helped expand it from modest beginnings; council members expressed appreciation for that volunteer history before acting.
