Hey–I just forwarded this link to our LSTA coordinator. And gave her your email address–she had some questions for you–she liked your mappie and wondered if you know about GIS software.

I myself am making a Les Trois Black Paris Google map for next month’s trip.

Thanks for pointing that out, Rebecca. For the sake of simplicity, I stuck with pushpins for the the central offices of larger regional library systems, rather than pushpins for every single public library branch in the state of Georgia. (Gwinnett County, for example, has one pushpin for its headquarters, rather than 14 for each of its branch locations.) The Randolph County Public Library is part of the Kinchafoonee Regional Library System, which actually is included on the map.

One day, I hope to make a supplementary map with every branch library in the state — although that would certainly be a much more involved task.

Hi Chris, looks great, but you’re missing the Randolph County library in Cuthbert, Ga., which is part of the PINES system. Just something I noticed, since I’m from the region. Thanks!

Hi Chris! Though I don’t live in Georgia, when I saw this – I thought it was brilliant and made one for our county! Thanks!
