"Going into our 87th year of serving Athens County, we love what we do and we love where we get to do it. "Above all, our countywide system aims to be: "Information hubs: We want our libraries to be the first places you think of to get trusted information and to share your curiosity, expertise, stories, and passions with others. "Community centers: We aim to connect, engage, entertain, and encourage. Everyone’s welcome. Through community partnerships, meeting spaces, and thousands of free library programs a year, lifelong learning has never been more vital or more fun."
