There are lots of things to see and do including several Art Galleries. Don’t miss a visit to The Kelly Fitzpatrick Center for the Arts (I have art on display there), walk through Goldstar Park, and several great restaurants (Coaches Corner-seen on the Hometown show), coffee shops and of course SHOPPING at several Boutiques.

Please tell me if this group ever has any physical meetings or conferences or even Zoom Meetings. I would love to be able to get together with fellow Georgia Church Librarians to share ideas, and eventually, even organize a conference. If you are interested in a Zoom Meeting in January 2024 to get some kind of organization or leadership in this group, please message me back. I see Tennessee, Alabama, and Virginia all have active groups that have a few conferences throughout the year. Anyone interested? Thanks, Amy
Morlee
THANKS!

Thanks! Morlee
