Gordon's New Library!!!

Gordon County Campus began the huge task of shelving books in their new library on August 15th. Employees from multiple libraries came together to help with this task and put all the books on the shelves. We were all very tired and pleased to see all the empty boxes at the end of the day.

As of August 22nd computer services are not yet available but books are all ready for check out and there are seats available for studying in the new library. More services will be announced soon.
