GCPL - Our Library - The price is right!

If you were to assume that our public library offers programs for children and families - you would be right. They do - stories, plays, games, performances, crafts, puppet shows, Doggie Tales (with Therapy Dogs) and more.

Did you know that they also offer programs for those of us a little bit older?

Teens can enjoy book discussions, games, movies, special presentations, and crafts. Feb 2009 includes a wide variety of events: Comic Book Drawing at Dacula, Chocolate Making at Mountain Park, Guitar Hero at Buford and Suwanee, Get Green: Recycle Yourself at Snellville, Teen Gaming Fridays at Mountain Park, Fiber Arts at Grayson, Origami at Five Forks, Book Club Cafe at Suwanee, CSI Program at Collins Hill, movies at Dacula and Lilburn, a Wii Game Day at Mountain Park. All that in only 1 month!


Adults can enjoy movies, book discussions, meeting authors, and workshops. From now until the end of February, check out one of these: Movies at Five Forks, Managing the Economy workshop at Snellville, Let's Talk - (English Conversation Groups) at five different locations, Reading Relay with Alpha Kappa Alpha alumni members on Saturdays in February, meet and spend An Evening with Daniel Black on Feb 24, Peachtree Corners Book Club, History Book Club: A World Lit Only by Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance by William Manchester, and the Dacula Loop Group to work on knitting or crochet projects. Snellville has Resume Writing and Interviewing Skills coming in February.

If you would like something to listen to during your commute or while doing chores - check out the audio books available on CD, cassette, or for download from the library web site. They also have children's books on cassette and CD - some even packaged with the book for reading along. Family movie night? Check out a DVD. Doing research? Use your library card and pin to access a wide range of research databases.

If you work with groups of young children, check out one of the Storytime A-GO-GO Kit for a set of themed books and activities.

Oh, yeah - they also have books. A lot of them!

With 14 current branches and a new one scheduled to open next winter, it's easy to find a library in Gwinnett.

Most (if not all) programs are free - a really good thing in this economy. Let's take advantage of what we have already paid for with our tax dollars...
