The city of Dawsonville recently unveiled two unique additions to the city’s municipal complex: old whiskey barrels, filled with books and food, to serve the community. “We’re tickled with them,” said City Manager Bob Bolz. With the popularity and impact of lending libraries in the parks, Bolz and Public Works Operation Manager Trampas Hansard loved the idea of installing a small library and free food bank in downtown.
