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.

The Friends of the Royston Public Library are asking for your help in fulfilling the Library's wish list of books. The Friends, in collaboration with the Royston Library staff, have put together a list of books that the library is eager to add to its collection. You can help the Friends fill this need by stopping by the library and choosing a book title from the display and donating it to the library - it's the perfect time of year to give a gift in honor or memory of a friend or loved one.
There are books for children and adults on the Library's list, and range from $10 to $25. If you would like to donate a book, but can't stop by the library, please call the library at 706-245-6748 and speak to one of the staff - they will be happy to assist you in choosing a book, and tell you how to mail your donation.
If you don't wish to choose a specific book, you may also make a general donation to The Friends of the Royston Public Library. Mail donations to Friends of the Royston Public Library, 684 Franklin Springs St., Royston, GA 30662.
