Proctoring- The Library Director (Chastady Bennett) can assist with your proctoring needs. From real estate testing to off-campus proctoring of college tests, the library is a great testing resource.

Reading Kits- New to the Galatia Public Library, reading kits contain books plus other relevant and fun materials. For example, the “Little Sister” kit contains several books, a movie, and a plush toy. These are great to help out with nightly reading or story times. Come to the library and check out one of our new kits!
