MOG Libraries Win Library of the Year Award

Marshes of Glynn Libraries, which includes the St. Simons Island Public Library and Brunswick Glynn County Library, was recently recognized as Georgia Public Library of the Year for its efforts to strengthen community partnerships, diversify its funding portfolio, and expand services to meet the informational, educational, cultural, and recreational needs of Glynn County residents. “The staff are the stars of our library system,” said Director Geri Mullis. “With friendly faces and listening ears, they transfer the vision of our libraries into reality for patrons of all ages. Staff help job seekers to find work, give snacks to food-vulnerable youth, teach languages, provide children’s books for families to start home libraries, are a social outlet for many people, share technology tools for patrons to express their creativity, curate archival collections to preserve local history, and in between all of that, staff checked out a ton of great books.” Learn more at georgialibraries.org/library-awards2022/#mog.
