SUMMER READING HAS BEGUN! Thank you to Brenda Bean for bringing her beautiful feathery friends to the library and teaching us about their different habitats, behaviors, and favorite songs to sing!

Couldn't make it today? No problem! We have our large summer events every Monday. You can see all upcoming events on our website or you can stop by the library and pick up a calendar. Catch us next week for a reptile petting zoo!

Today we want to spotlight the third of three special Summer Reading supporters -- the City of Bogart! The City and its leadership are true guardian angels to the Bogart Library and their generous donation makes a difference all year long -- and especially in summer -- that is impossible to overstate. Thank you, Mayor Jones and the Bogart City Council!

Today we want to spotlight the second of three much appreciated supporters --

A heartfelt shoutout to for their amazing donation to the Summer Reading Program. Their continued support year after year of the next generation of readers fills our hearts with joy.

We also couldn't make your summer nearly as Dino-rific – and help promote literacy throughout the community – without all our financial supporters, including private citizens, local companies, corporations, community organizations, and of course all the fantastic support of our county, state, and federal government funding sources. THANK YOU ALL!

An important update concerning hoopla!

First, the bad news: we're sorry to announce that access to hoopla for Athens Regional Library System patrons will end on June 30, 2026. While we appreciate the value hoopla brings to our digital collections, the platform's pricing and lending model options have become unsustainable for the library's budget. We appreciate your understanding!
And now, the GREAT news: Kanopy is coming July 1, 2026! You'll be able to enjoy instant access to thousands of critically-acclaimed movies, inspiring documentaries, award-winning foreign films, and more from studios like A24, the BBC, The Criterion Collection, and PBS. Check back for more information on how to start streaming with your library card.

Novels in verse are sometimes overlooked, but they are a great option when it comes to accessibility and enticing reluctant readers. Check out our "Novels in Verse" display the next time you're here!
