Plot Twist: We're Still Here!
A couple of weeks ago, we were at the Georgia Library Media Association's Summer Institute. We sensed worry in the air, and we fielded many questions about our future.
The truth is: We're celebrating our 30th anniversary and continue to serve all 12 million Georgians!
Like all state agencies, we may face budget shortfalls, but we're committed to finding innovative solutions that push through any challenges.
Thank you all for your support!
