Dear Community.

Please join us in demanding that Florida keep their stormy weather on their side of the border. 😤 Sadly, the weather is going to prevent us from running Friday Night Brights at the home game this evening. Looks like we will need to give away extra glow-treats at the next game to make up for it!

Praying for no more rain...

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month.

No monthly fee. No free trial that suddenly starts charging you. Just a library card and a ridiculous amount of stuff you can access with it.

Books, eBooks, audiobooks, movies, online resources, programs, and millions of items through PINES.

Don’t have a library card yet? We can fix that.

A very special visitor joined us this afternoon in Cairo! Meet Angela Stanley, our new State Librarian for Georgia Public Libraries! Angela has a clear vision and her strength will serve us well as we steer through the rising challenges of literacy, funding and the future of AI. We hope you enjoyed your visit to the hospitality city, Angela!

Farm Bureau Storytime is always a good Wednesday! Grady County, Georgia Farm Bureau Insurance stopped by for their monthly visit this week and came bearing books. They donated a few new titles to our collection, so thank you to them for keeping our shelves (and our readers) well supplied! Stop by and see what’s new.

A quick Storytime update while we have your attention: starting next week, Storytime is moving to 10:30 AM! Join us every Wednesday for stories, activities, and a little midweek fun.
