Book Sale at the Georgia Archives Thursday Evening – Friday & Saturday

The Friends of Georgia Archives and History are holding a book sale to raise money to Friends of Georgia Archives and Historysupport the Archives that house the legal, financial and historical documents of the state. The Archives is an important center for genealogical research, but much of its work and many educational programs have been severely curtailed by state budget cuts. In past years, the book sale has raised as much as $10,000. It’s said that many books are “priced to sell,” in hopes of raising a good chunk of cash again.

Hours for the Friends of Georgia Archives and History book sale are Thursday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. for members only. (New members who join that evening are also welcome.) Public hours are 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

The Georgia Archives are located at 5800 Jonesboro Road in Morrow.
