Our library staff spent the day down at the Capitol on Thursday for Library Legislative Day! As always, we are grateful for our legislators' continued support of Georgia's libraries, and we are grateful for the Georgia Public Library Service, who made this wonderful day of fellowship and advocacy possible.

A special thank you goes out to Rep. Houston Gaines, Senator Frank Ginn, and Senator Clint Dixon for taking the time to talk with us.
