📖 About Wayne County Library
Wayne County Library is the Jesup branch of the Three Rivers Regional Library System (TRRLS), which serves ten counties across Coastal and Southeast Georgia. The system traces its roots to 1949 when it was established as the Brunswick Regional Library; it was unanimously renamed Three Rivers Regional Library System on November 16, 2000, in honor of the three river systems — the Altamaha, Satilla, and St. Marys — that define the region. The administrative headquarters of TRRLS is located in Jesup, reflecting Wayne County's central role in the system. The library provides public computers, Wi-Fi, youth programs including 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten and summer reading, genealogy and archives services, and digital access to GALILEO — Georgia's statewide library consortium of databases — for all cardholders.
