UPDATE: it started to rain, so we packed up! But we’ll plan to try this again on a day with hopefully better weather.

We are at Lake Carroll Park near the playground until 11:30! (Or until it starts raining, whichever comes first 😅)

We are making progress on our community reading goal!

We hope to see you on Thursday! This program will be happening whether we have clouds or sunshine (except if it's pouring rain) 🌥️

We are excited to announce that Angela Stanley has been named Vice Chancellor of Public Libraries for the University System of Georgia, where she will serve as Georgia’s State Librarian beginning July 1, 2026.
