The library began as a Works Progress Administration Project. The Toccoa Woman’s Club, The Kiwanis Club, and the U.D.C. were instrumental in procuring books and funding for library programs and services.
The library has grown over the past decades into a current, modern, state-of-the-art facility. The Toccoa-Stephens County Library is a Georgia Pines Library.

Friends of the Library help fund our public library, the “Read at Home” program, and the children’s “Summer Reading” program, among others. We buy specific items needed by the library and contribute to the library’s discretionary fund. Click the logo on the right to download the FOTL application and join the cause.
