Live Oak Public Libraries
Serving Chatham, Effingham and Liberty Counties

‘Geek the Library’ is a community-based public awareness campaign designed to highlight the vital role of public libraries in today’s challenging environment and raise awareness about the critical funding issues public libraries face. The campaign is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Whatever you are passionate about--whatever you geek--public libraries are there to inspire and empower. Everyone is welcome. Almost anything can be explored. And they play an important role for individuals and for communities. What do you geek?
