PINES
Georgia Library Public Information Network for Electronic Services, or PINES, is Georgia's public library automation and lending network for 249 libraries in 127 counties. PINES is an initiative of the Georgia Public Library Service, a unit of the University System of Georgia. Fifty percent of Georgia's population and 44 of Georgia's 58 public library systems rely on the PINES network for their library service.

Any resident of Georgia may obtain a free PINES card by visiting any PINES library. In addition to browsing and checking out books on the shelves of their local libraries, PINES allows library users to log on to http://pines.lib.ga.us, browse or search the online catalog for books and other library materials and have their selections delivered to their local library. Anyone with a PINES card can access the PINES catalog by using computers at their local library or by using a PIN number to log on from home.
