[INSERT DATE (CITY, STATE)]—GALILEO, Georgia’s online virtual library, formed 15 years ago to provide unlimited and universal access to online library resources to all citizens of Georgia. Working with public libraries and academic institutions across the state, GALILEO has put together a collection of online resources to meet all of your research needs whether you are studying for a final exam or building your family tree.
[INSERT QUOTE ABOUT YOUR LIBRARY’S USE OF ONLINE RESOURCES and GALILEO—here is an example from Adrian Mixon at Hall County Library:]
[EXAMPLE: Adrian Mixon, Library Director at Hall County Libraries, sums up GALILEO best when he said, “Galileo is the best thing to happen to the citizens of Georgia. Suddenly the homebound and the mobile, student or lay person has at their fingers what could once only be found in the best academic libraries in Georgia. No matter where they live or where they are located in their travels, at no additional cost, all Georgians can now explore their historical past, keep up with the most current news in their area of interest or be the lay scholar. Galileo has truly improved the lives of the citizens of our state.”]
