So many options, so many possibilities!

Our Future Centers are here to help students navigate their options, explore opportunities, and create a plan for what comes next. Your future starts with a plan, and we’re here to help you find your way!

Today is GEORGIA MATCH Day 2026! 🩵

Choosing a college that fits your goals can open the door to many possibilities. GEORGIA MATCH helps Georgia high school seniors discover where they qualify for admission based on their HOPE GPA.

The University System of Georgia is proud to partner with the Georgia Student Finance Commission and other state agencies on this effort to help students explore their higher education options.

Last October, more than 132,000 seniors in the Class of 2026 received direct-match letters. This year, at least 130,000 students in the Class of 2027 will receive theirs.

Today, we celebrate the opportunities GEORGIA MATCH helps students discover across our state.

📚 New chapter. New drivers. Same mission.

Today included a little driver training for the newest crew behind the wheel of The Bookmobile, and yes, there may have been a few nerves, a lot of laughs, and some very serious mirror-checking. 😂

This beloved Bookmobile has already traveled a lot of miles and put a lot of books into the hands of kids across our community. Now, as we get ready for its next chapter, we’re making sure we have a few more people ready to take the wheel…literally!

There are exciting things ahead and we can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes us. ❤️📚🚌

Buckle up, Bartow County. We’re just getting started.

Please join us for Give like Dolly Day!

📚✨ Tomorrow is GIVE LIKE DOLLY DAY! ✨📚

On September 25, we’re celebrating the incredible spirit of Dolly Parton — a woman who has shown the world just how powerful a book, a dream, and a little generosity can be. 💗🦋

Here at the Bookmobile, we believe every child deserves the chance to discover the magic of reading. Every mile we drive, every book we place into a child’s hands, and every smile we see when they find their perfect book is made possible because of people who believe in our mission.

Give Like Dolly Day is your chance to help us keep those wheels turning and those pages turning! 🚌📖

Your gift — big or small — helps us bring books directly to children in our community and encourages them to dream bigger, read more, and imagine all the possibilities ahead of them.

💗 Give like Dolly.
📚 Give the gift of reading.
🚌 Help us keep the Bookmobile rolling.

Join us September 25 and help us put more books into the hands of more children!
