PINES Upgrade January 12 - 16

PINES, the Georgia statewide library network, uses software called Evergreen. This weekend, all PINES libraries will be undergoing an Evergreen software upgrade. This means that most of the libraries functions, such as registering new patrons, placing holds on items, checking in books, searching the catalog, and renewing books will not be available. You WILL be able to check books out, however.

Software functionality should return Monday. Some libraries will be closed for the MLK holiday, but patrons will be able to use the PINES website found at www.gapines.org again beginning Monday, January 16. Libraries should reopen Tuesday at full capacity.

The PINES outage does NOT affect Talking Books, so please feel free to order your books!
