O’Kelly Memorial Library in Loganville, GA

This library is part of the huge PINES consortium in Georgia. It is comprised of approximately 275 libraries which share a collection of nearly 10 million items. Despite encompassing the poorest areas of the state, this network allows its patrons access to a greater number of resources than even the richest counties such as Cobb, Fulton, Dekalb and Gwinnett. Nevertheless due to poorer conditions of books, outdated material and lack of funding for programming, many people who live near a non-PINES library will cross the county lines in attempting to secure a card.

In contrast to other PINES member libraries I have visited, the one in Loganville was actually well kept. They even had a music CD and movie DVD collection which a Gwinnett County library less than 10 miles away could not even claim.

I actually visited this library as part of an assignment for my very last class in library school, Seminar in the Problems of Rural Library Service. For my full report on this library, click the link...http://rapidshare.com/files/138245434/Road_Trip_Assignment.doc.html
