📖 About Oakland Library
Oakland Library serves the Leesburg community as the primary branch of the Lee County Library System, which also operates the Leesburg, Redbone, and Smithville branches across Lee County. The system is part of Georgia's PINES consortium (Public Information Network for Electronic Services), meaning a single Lee County library card provides access to holdings at participating libraries statewide. The Oakland branch is home to The Bindery, a community event venue, and offers residents digital services from GALILEO (Georgia's virtual library of 100+ databases), the GADD eBook collection via Libby and the Palace app, Ancestry Library Edition for genealogy research, ABC Mouse for early learners, and World Book Online. Voter registration assistance and Ask-A-Tech technology support round out the community-facing services.
