Due to recent budget cuts, the Three Rivers Regional Library System has
discontinued participation in Georgia Download Destination and can no longer
offer downloadable audiobooks.
The St. Simons
Island Library was founded in March 1937, by Mrs. Abbie Fuller Graham. At the
time, books were circulated from a private residence. Later, with the support of
the Glynn County Commission and the sponsorship of the Cassina Garden Club, the
library moved to two small rooms in the County Casino. In 1950 the library moved
to its present location, the former bowling alley. On Tuesday, October 1,
2002, the Library was designated as a National Literary Landmark in honor of
Eugenia Price. The St. Simons Library was the site where Ms. Price did early
research on her first novel,
The Beloved Invader
in 1961, leading to her St. Simons trilogy. In July of 2005 the library
moved to temporary quarters while the County Casino building was updated and
remodeled. The library reopened in its renovated space in November 2006.
In July of 2007, the St Simons Island
Public Library Board completed negotiations with the Three Rivers Regional
Library System and the St. Simons Island Public Library became a member of
PINES.
