The Hattie G. Wilson Library originally opened in 1947 as Fort Hill Branch Library to provide service to the African-American community of Marietta. Mrs. Wilson worked at the library from 1951 until her retirement in 1986. Two years later, the library was renamed in her honor.
Today, the library houses an extensive collection of African-American literature and materials, and serves as a homework center for area children. This branch has five computers available for public use. Rachell Heard is the current branch librarian.

Money is going to overpaid administrators which should be going to operate our library branches.
Below info is just part of what I have been saying about this poorly managed library for years. It is past time for a change. Read below and then look at this site for more info: http://cobbcountylibrary.blogspot.com/
Overpaid and time to make some cuts!
Cobb County Library Pay/Staffing:
In this economy it is hard to find a job, those who have one and are overpiad for it should have their pay cut and if they feel that they can do better at some other library they should depart and find greener pastures.
In Cobb County the top 4 people are overpaid. There should be pay cuts of 20% at Grade 64 and 59, we don't need a Library Director at $123,322 + benefits! Also we should trim 15% for the 4 at Pay Grade 57.
The library has 320 employee positions, divided between 124 full time positions and 196 part time positions.
The pay grade range from Grade 40 for the 3 Library Couriers and 30 Library Assistant 1’s ($23-$35,817) to Grade 64 (Library Director $75-$123,322). There are 3 Associate Library Manager positions, at pay grade 59 ($59-$95,264) and 4 Regional/Central Library Manager positions at pay grade 57 ($53-$86,091).
