Screven-Jenkins Regional Library System

This program offers residents in supported libraries access to over 100 databases indexing thousands of periodicals and scholarly journals.

[4] The Screven County Library was the first branch of this system to be incorporated, as part of the Works Progress Administration in June 1936.

The following year members of both Screven and Jenkins counties came together to work out details of a library system.

With only two libraries serving the entirety of two counties a bookmobile was added in 1952 to help rural patrons get access to the books as well.

The amount was matched, and in August 1955 a bond issue passed to fund the rest of the construction fees for a new building.
