The Houston County Public Library will soon have a new circulation system (the way the library checks out books to patrons), and in order to do this, library records are being updated. If you have not visited the library this year, be sure to drop by as soon as possible and renew your library card. People who have not used the library in the past year or so will soon be removed from our records. We want everyone to use the library and to have an up to date library card! In this age of more and more expenses, the library card is a great bargain--it is FREE and a way to use computers, attend programs, and check out books, movies, and audios.

The new 2011 Edition of the Directory of Businesses & Services for Houston County is for sale at the library and other locations around the county.

The price is $5.00.  Each book lists businesses and services available in Houston County, as well as map of the county, history of the county, and area information. There are many listings that are not included in your yellow pages.  Great resource to have when you are looking for a particualr type of business.  Please be sure to purchase one!!!  Sale of the books benefit the Friends of the Library. 

The Archives is starting a new campaign today "Save Our History". We are encouraging everyone to not throw away or destroy documents, photo's, old letters, etc. but bring what you have to the Houston County  Archives ...
