The Sweetwater Valley branch of the Cobb County Public Library System has a long history. It began in 1913 when the Austell Women's Club made a circulating library one of its first priorites. In 2003, the library branch moved to a new location in the Austell City Threadmill Complex after having been in a log cabin and then a 1950s building on Front St. The 3,000-square-foot space houses a large collection of books as well as 15 computers for public access.
