==Arts and culture==
===Theatre Dublin===
Theatre Dublin, originally known as the Martin Theater, was constructed in 1934 in Dublin's Historic Downtown Commercial District.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theatredublinga.com/ |title=Theatre Dublin |website=Theatredublinga.com |date=March 26, 2022 |access-date=April 4, 2022}}</ref> The theatre features [[Art Deco]] architectural design, with flat symmetrical wall surfacing and horizontal bands, in addition to an overhanging [[marquee (structure)|marquee]] and neon sign.<ref name="auto"/>

Since its renovation in 1996, Theatre Dublin has served as a performing arts center for Dublin-Laurens County and surrounding areas. The theatre houses a regular variety of events and performances, including musical artists, plays and performances, orchestras, concerts, and showings of both classical and contemporary films.

===Dublin Carnegie Library===
The Dublin Carnegie Library was built in 1904 by a grant from [[Andrew Carnegie]].<ref>{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.dublincarnegie.com/ |title=Dublin Carnegie |publisher=Dublin Carnegie |date=November 7, 1904 |access-date=April 4, 2022}}</ref> It is located in Dublin's Historic Downtown Commercial District, and the Dublin Carnegie is one of only three surviving [[Carnegie Libraries]] in the state of Georgia listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] and still in its original form. The Dublin Carnegie served as public library for the region until the 1960s, at which point the city and county constructed a larger public library. In the late 1970s, the Dublin Carnegie Library was structurally stabilized and maintained by the Dublin-Laurens Historical Society.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.laurenshistory.org |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101109030900/http://laurenshistory.org/ |url-status=usurped |archive-date=November 9, 2010 |title=Laurens County Historical Society |publisher=Laurenshistory.org |date= |access-date=April 4, 2022}}</ref> For more than 35 years, the building served as the home of the Dublin-Laurens Museum.<ref name="dublincarnegie.com"/>

In 2014, the Dublin-Laurens Museum moved to a new location, leaving the Dublin Carnegie Library unoccupied. The Dublin Downtown Development Authority then renovated the building to its historic stature, restoring many of the building's original features. Since the renovation by the DDA in 2014, the Dublin Carnegie has served as an event space and fine arts gallery, featuring local and statewide art displays.<ref name="dublincarnegie.com"/>
