SUMMARY: Libraries in Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson counties are promoting library card signup month to encourage people to support their local libraries and take advantage of the numerous free resources they offer, including books, computers, and movies. By signing up for a library card, residents can access a wide range of materials and also help alleviate budget cuts that libraries are facing. Libraries today serve as more than just a place to borrow materials; they are also meeting hubs and community centers. Residents are encouraged to voice their support for libraries and ensure they receive adequate funding. Additionally, Jackson Georgia Regional libraries have extended their hours to 6:30 to make the library more accessible.

The bill has bipartisan support and was championed by Senator Bryce Wiggins and Stacy Riley from the Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence.
