About PINES 
A program of the Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS), Georgia Library PINES (Public Information Network for Electronic Services) is the public library automation and lending network for 302 libraries and affiliated service outlets in 54 library systems covering 145 counties in Georgia. PINES serves patrons in all 159 Georgia counties. PINES creates a statewide "borderless library" that provides equal access to information for all Georgians.

PINES runs on the Evergreen automation system, an open-source system originally developed in-house by GPLS, and now in use worldwide by more than 1500 libraries. PINES is managed by GPLS staff and is provided at no cost to Georgia library systems. By utilizing economies of scale and eliminating the need for individual automation system contracts, PINES has enabled local libraries statewide to reduce software expenditures by approximately $10 million a year.
