Get out. Get dirty. Get fit.
With a valid library card you can borrow a Georgia State Parks Annual ParkPass and an individual Historic Sites Visitors Pass
for up to 7 days. The ParkPass exempts you from paying the daily
parking fee at state parks and the Historic Sites Visitors Pass exempts
one visitor from admission fees to any state historic site in the state.
A copy of the Guide to Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites featuring descriptions, photos, directions and a map of all locations is included.
So take your family or yourself to a state park or historic site and
see how much fun being outdoors can be. Come discover the treasures of
Georgia in your own backyard.
For more information about this program, ask your librarian.

Downloadable
audiobooks are now available for library patrons to download for free.
A consortium of Georgia libraries has selected a custom collection of
audiobooks for our patrons. This service, "Georgia Download
Destination," is hosted by OverDrive. OverDrive Audiobooks can be
downloaded to your PC or Mac, burned to a CD (when allowed by the
publisher), or transferred to a supported portable device.
This service will be available 24 hours, seven days a week for patrons
to download titles from home using their PINES library card and pin
number. Patrons cannot download audiobooks at the Library. However, staff will be available to assist with questions related to this service.
This service was made possible in part by the Friends of the Athens-Clarke County Library.

Come read with a furry friend. Please sign up at front desk for a 15 minute session.
This program allows beginner and/or struggling readers to read to a certified, insured therapy dog. For some children, reading in front of peers or adults can be a daunting experience. Dogs have a calming effect and reduce the hesitation children can experience when they read. Children aren't the only ones who benefit from the program. The young readers are actually helping to further train this extraordinary dog for her work with children and adults with physical disabilities.
