The Chattooga County Library System (CCLS) was a public library system consisting of two libraries in Chattooga County, Georgia, United States, in the northwest region of the state. On 1 November 2020, the library system merged with the Sara Hightower Regional Library System.[2] The library headquarters and main branch is located in Summerville with a second, smaller branch in Trion.
CCLS is a part 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.[3] The library is also member of 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.[4]
The Summerville News reported on Thursday that the Chattooga County Library's merger with the Sarah Hightower Regional Library will be completed on November 1st.
