> 5 reasons to love your library card

A book’s journey through PINES

Georgia is one of the only states to offer a statewide card for any resident free of charge for both patrons and participating libraries. With a network of 300 public libraries throughout Georgia, PINES is responsible for the transfer of more than 3.64 million books and materials annually across the state to fulfill patron requests.

Libraries teach digital literacy

Many public libraries offer technology workshops, helping seniors navigate digital tools and learn essential online skills like paying bills, making appointments, reading the news, or emailing loved ones.

Supporting strong communities through federal funding

Funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) enables Georgia Public Library Service, as the state library administrative agency, to provide services to all Georgia public libraries.

Leveraging federal dollars on a statewide scale ensures all Georgians have access to the same high-quality library programming and services, no matter where they live.
