The Jackson-Butts County Public Library would like to publicly thank the many generous sponsors of the annual Summer Reading program. Without their support it would be very difficult to have a program that kids and families enjoy, and more importantly, a program that keeps kids motivated to read all summer long. Studies show that children who read during the summer are better prepared for school when it resumes in the fall. That is the ultimate goal of the Summer Reading program — to ensure that children have the necessary tools to succeed in school and life.

Please call the library for more information at 770-775-7524. Programs are subject to change without notice.
