We are now Gr8ter Friends, Inc.
Gr8ter Friends, Inc., formerly known as The Friends of the J. Joel Edwards Public Library, has changed its name to reflect on its new and broader mission.
Why the change? The expansion of our community organization to include Southern Crescent will allow our mission to have a broader impact beyond a single library. We will continue to support J Joel Edwards Public Library, but with this change we can include other libraries and learning facilities. A larger community will provide us with a larger pool of supporters and allow us to broaden our reach. This change allows us to grow with our community and not be limited by a single facility or county lines
Our new website address is Gr8terFriends.com
We now serve the 8 counties within Southern Crescent: Pike, Spalding, Meriwether, Coweta, Fayette, Butts, Henry and Clayton.
Our mission is to empower and inspire the citizens and communities within Southern Crescent by advocating for equitable access to education, resources and opportunities.
