Dear Library User,
It is hard to believe that one year ago, we were forced to close our buildings due to the Coronavirus pandemic. We can never express our sincere thanks to our patrons for their understanding and support as we made every attempt to keep our staff, patrons, and community safe from the spread of this deadly virus.
We are so pleased to see the light and the end of the tunnel! While the Vision of the library, “Engaging Communities, Exceeding Expectations” was our North Star for service throughout this year, we will be glad to have our doors open and our hours restored once again. Please read the full Message from the Director here.
National Library Week is a time to highlight the essential role libraries, librarians, library workers and volunteers play in transforming lives and strengthening communities. This year's theme is “Welcome to your library!" Libraries extend far beyond the four walls of a building, and everyone is welcome to use our services.
The library now offers free online tutoring through tutor.com. Library card holders can log on for free one-on-one help with a live tutor for homework help, test prep assistance, cover letter or resume review and more! Tutors will be available seven days a week, 2-9 p.m.
Watch this brief introductory video to learn more https://youtu.be/T9sSAkC4JQ8 and sign up for a free webinar to learn how you can get the most out of tutor.com!
As part of its phased reentry plan, the Athens Regional Library System continues to expand its available services while protecting the health and safety of patrons and staff. Unvented face masks must be worn inside the building. Visits are limited to one hour, and social distancing measures are in place.
Grab and Go: Check your local branch's web page for updated hours.
Curbside Service: Check your local branch's web page for updated hours.
Computers: Computers are available first come, first served during Grab and Go hours, or by appointment during curbside hours. Please note you will be required to wear an unventilated face mask while at the library, and limited staff assistance will be available. Printing services will be available. For more information, click here.
Athens-Clarke County Library: Passports: The Athens-Clarke County Library accepts passport applications by appointment. Please call the library at 706-613-3650 to set up your appointment. Saturday appointments are available! Please check their website at https://travel.state.gov/
Concierge Service: Not sure what to read next? Do you or your child want to learn more about a particular topic? Want to discover a new favorite author based on books you know you already like? Try our concierge service! Call us, and our friendly, knowledgeable staff will gather titles for you based on your interests for curbside pickup.
Crafts to Go: Stop by your library to pick up everything you need for a fun craft activity designed for children ages 2-11. A new craft is available every two weeks while supplies last, and each branch has different crafts.
Join us for the kick-off to the June Athens Chautauqua! We’ll show the documentary, Rosa Parks: The First Lady of the Civil Rights Movement, followed by a panel discussion featuring local civil rights activists and academics. A reception will be held at 4:30 p.m
