The LaGrange Daily News is writing an article on why people love reading. Becky Holland, the Life Style Editor, will be at the LaGrange Memorial Library on February 18th from 11:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. soliciting your stories. Please stop in and see her!
If you or a family member is a user of the talking book service for the blind and physically handicapped, major changes have been proposed for this program. Presently a network of 11 libraries throughout the state provides for the distribution of audio materials. The new configuration would centralize much of this service. Hearings are scheduled throughout the state to gain input from the public and talking book users. The meeting in the Troup-Harris area will be held at the Columbus Public Library (3000 Macon Road) on February 23 at 2 p.m.
Tax Forms: By mid-January, all library branches will have a limited selection of the most often used forms and instructions needed by individuals to file their personal income tax returns. Please be advised that both the IRS and the Georgia Department of Revenue are urging taxpayers to file their returns electronically and therefore are making fewer forms available in bulk to public libraries and other tax form outlet locations. For additional forms and information, visit the IRS and the Georgia Department of Revenue online.
