Английская Википедия:Cherokee Regional Library System
The Cherokee Regional Library System (CRLS) is a public library system consisting of four libraries in the counties of Walker and Dade, Georgia. The central library, the Lafayette-Walker County Public Library, is located in LaFayette, Georgia.
CRLS is a member of PINES, a public library network of 281 libraries in 140 counties throughout Georgia. Any resident of Georgia may receive a PINES library card which allows them access to any of the 8 million books in its collection across the state.[1] The library is also associated with GALILEO, Georgia's ‘virtual library’ which facilitates online access to over 100 databases (including magazine articles and online books) for researchers and students on a wide variety of topics.[2] Each branch of the library also hosts their own Genealogy and Local History Room for patrons.[3]
History
Rossville Public Library
The Rossville Public Library was organized in 1942 as a product of the Works Progress Administration. Upon completion of the library, neighboring LaFayette, Georgia's library board approached the library in Rossville to request a regional library system be constructed between the two branches. This was the first iteration of the Cherokee Regional Library System.[4]
