GALILEO means Georgia Library Learning Online. It is a World Wide Web-based virtual library.

There are tools to assist the student in creating citations for research papers, organizing notes, and creating timeline projects.

This is a search engine for materials in libraries across Georgia. You can search the collection of public libraries in and around Heard County to find what is included in their collections and whether they are in or checked out. A Pines library card, like the one that can be obtained at the Heard County Public Library or Ephesus library may be used at participating libraries across Georgia.
You may request books from libraries in the West Georgia area through your school media specialist and they will be delivered to your school to be checked out. A Pines library card is not required for this service.
