    3. I got this information about the Greene County, Georgia, Library in Greensboro from my sister in Florida who got it from our first cousin once removed who lives at Union Point, Greene County, Georgia. I am surprised that someone has not posted it to the area county lists by now. The Friends of the Greene County Library group has taken on the project of upgrading the genealogy and local history collection/section in the public library in Greensboro. They are seeking donations of money and research materials. They do have a vertical file of sorts for unpublished material. The "drive" has been started off or aided by a $500.00 donation by one of the Reynolds Plantation people. The library could also use a good microfilm reader/printer from what I understand. They are suppose to have a computer with some programs, but I don't know what or how many. The "round about" story that I got was that the microfilm reader/printer they had a bunch of years ago had broken. It either could not be repaired or parts were no longer available. That was the reason given that a lot of the microfilm had been moved to the Judge of Probate's office in the courthouse because the Judge's office had a better microfilm reader. That may or may not be true. Just what I heard. For more information contact the library. Phone number for the library is 1-706-453-7276.
