The Twin Lakes Library System is a single-county public library system that services the citizens of Milledgeville and Baldwin County, Georgia. Planned to be a place of "recreation, inspiration, and information," then Mayor George S. Carpenter commented, "the time has come when Milledgeville must plan for the future if she expects to grow and remain a progressive city." The first library was founded n 1938. After 43 years under the Middle Georgia Library System a dream became a reality when the Mary Vinson Memorial Library became the headquarters for a new library system, the Twin Lakes Library System in July 2001. On May 30, 2003, the Twin Lakes Library System added a branch library, the Lake Sinclair Library, to serve patrons on the north side of town. The Twin Lakes Library System continues to provide top-notch service to the residents of Milledgeville and Baldwin County with its continual pursuit to expand its services. As a Georgia public library and a member of the Public Information Network for Electronic Services (PINES), patrons can enjoy the comfort and convenience of utilizing its comprehensive services throughout the state. Through the PINES online catalog, patrons can place holds, renew items, and see what the other 275+ member libraries have to offer! Additionally, with a PINES library card, there is no need to have multiple cards; one will do!
