We need a student.  You’ll likely come to us with some skills that are stronger than others.  We’ll teach you the rest.

We need a neighbor.  The Southwest Georgia Regional Library is located in an energetic, busy community; and you can establish some enduring partnerships by being a part of it.

We need a collaborator.  Individually, we can do good things.  Together, we can do amazing things!

We need an artist.  We want an advocate who can help our patrons and potential patrons visualize the benefit of the library.

We need a techie.  You should understand a wide variety of software and computer peripherals.  Know the tools you need, and we’ll provide them.

We need an idea person.  It takes that kind of person to design and plan programming that appeals to the community.

We need a reader.  At a library’s heart, you’ll always find the printed word.  We need you to understand the value of that.
