The Friends of the Library Bookshelf

Want to spend more time outdoors with a new hobby like fly fishing? The Bookshelf has a wonderful collection of books on fly fishing, all in excellent condition, and many about Georgia streams.

Thinking of donating books to the library? Do it now! The newer the books, the more likely they are to be added to the library’s collection. They will also be welcome at the Bookshelf and appreciated by our customers.

Bookshelf hours are from 10:30-5:00 on weekdays and from noon-2:00 on Saturdays
