The Seed Library is Here!
Our seed library at the Athens-Clarke County Library allows patrons to check out a packet of seeds, plant them, and let some of them go to maturity. You then harvest that next generation of seeds, and return them to the library so other people can check them out.
Computer Classes for Everybody
Our library system offers a variety of free classes on basic computer skills and Adobe Creative Cloud software. Learn how to get started with Windows 10, Android smartphones, iPhones, Adobe Photoshop, podcasting, and more.
