Plan now to attend our special class, Protect Yourself from Identity Theft, which will be conducted by Jessica Wallis, Branch Service Leader at Regions Bank here in Elberton. 

The class will discuss common forms of identity theft, what to do if you become a victim, and preventive actions that can be taken.

Although there's no class limit, we do ask that you call to make a reservation so we know how many to expect.  Just give us a call at 706-283-5375.  Hope to see you at this session! 

 

 

The federal tax forms and instruction booklets are here and have been placed in the Library's front foyer. There is no charge for these materials and they are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.   As noted below, there will be no free state materials this year.  Any tax forms or instructions that we print from the state or federal websites will cost $.10/page. 

Changes with State Forms

This year the Georgia Dept. of Revenue (DOR) will not be providing free state tax booklets or forms through the public libraries.  Although this has as has been the case for many years, the DOR has opted to discontinue this service.  Individuals may request that books be mailed to them by contacting the DOR at www.etax.dor.ga.gov, e-mailing a request to taxforms@dor.ga.gov, or calling customer service at 1-877-423-6711. Give us a call at 706-283-5375 if you have questions.

The Library's Heritage area now includes more room for research and study plus 2 computers for genealogy research.  Family histories, DAR information, burials, census information and other reference material used for genealogy work are now much easier to locate and use.

There are also vertical files containing detailed family and Elbert County information, along with archival copies of the Elberton Star.  These are located in the Library's staff area and are available with assistance. 

Our microrofilm reader allows visitors to look at the very old issues of the Elberton Star and other archival records -- information may also be printed from the microfilm reader. The most recent years of the Star are now available on CD's  here in the Library (thanks to the Star), so they are now easily accessible as well.  You may also bring a camera to photograph articles from the bound versions of the paper.

If you have genealogy-related questions, please shoot us an e-mail or call the Library at 706-283-5375. 

The Library now has a knitting and needlework group that meets on Fridays at 2.  Hooks and Needles members gather to learn new stitches, share patterns and designs and enjoy working together.   This is a very flexible group  -- no reservations are required -- just come enjoy sharing your skills and interest with other like-minded folks.  Give us a call at 706-283-5375 if you have questions.
