Start Your Story

You know about the wealth of stories available at the library, from picture books and poetry to mysteries and movies. But there's more to the story! Libraries create opportunities for everyone in our community.

This past year, more people visited libraries, attended programs, and got library cards. More people used library computers, internet, and digital resources. Thank you for supporting library stories of success!

Library Volunteer Spotlight

"Libraries are important because they bring great value to our community! They are a safe place in the community where people and families can go to participate in programs, find resources, and read. Libraries allow their patrons the opportunity to explore and create."

~ Dr. Brigid Nesmith, Effingham County Board of Trustees
