On January 18, 1938 the Baldwin County Public
Library opened its doors to the public. Seventy years later, we're
still going strong, bringing the best information service possible
to the citizens of Baldwin County! 2008 will see us celebrating all
year long with special events that will remind you why the library
is such a vital part of the county's cultural community.

the special events that are coming!
We had a special ceremony on January 18, 2008 that featured
several important guests, including: Mayor Richard Bentley, Deputy
State Librarian David Singleton, Milledgeville Mainstreet Director
Heather Holder and County Commission Chairman Bobby Blizzard. A full

May is Mental Health Month
You may not realize it, but chances are a child or adolescent you
know has a serious mental health need. In fact, mental health
problems affect one in five young people.
Mental health problems are painful (emotionally, spiritually and
socially) especially for children and adolescents. Words that make
fun of mental health create a sense of shame, feelings of guilt and
loss of self-esteem. Children and adolescents exposed to such a
negative view of themselves feel rejected, lonely and isolated. For
a child with a mental health problem, this "stigma" is often the
greatest barrier to a complete and satisfying life.
But you can help. There are many things that parents and
caregivers can do to support children's emotional health and
well-being. Make a commitment to help the children and adolescents
in your life. May has been officially recognized as "Mental Health
Month" by Congress since 1949 and is the perfect time for parents
and caregivers to focus on children's and adolescents' mental
health.
