Abstract
This timeline chronicles the diligent work that Georgia’s libraries and librarians do to improve the lives of all Georgians. It is a compilation of historical data on Georgia’s public libraries and a history of the Georgia Public Library Service from its inception in 1897. It begins with the first known subscription library created in Savannah in 1809 and ends with our current status of 403 service outlets for public library service in the state.
