2012 THOMASVILLE/THOMAS COUNTY COMMUNITY RESOURCE DIRECTORY NOW AVAILABLE

THOMASVILLE, GA; May 7, 2012—Looking for a handy guide to link you with local groups, organizations, and agencies? The 2012 Thomasville/Thomas County Community Resource Directory is now available at the Thomas County Public Library System (TCPLS).

Published by the library with support from Flowers Foods, the directory offers more than 250 listings covering everything from health services and the arts to emergency assistance and senior services. There is information on elected officials, local tourism, veteran services, and much more. Copies are available at the main library in Thomasville at no cost while supplies last. Visitors to www.tcpls.org, the library’s Web site, also can find a PDF of the 2012 directory as well as a searchable online version.

 “We’ve been publishing this directory since 2002, and this year’s may just be the biggest, with more than 60 pages of listings,” said Nancy Tillinghast, TCPLS director. “It continues to be a valuable resource for new and long-time residents and for agencies that assist people in our community. Once again, we are grateful to Flowers Foods for its continuing support of this project.”

Tillinghast said the printed directory is updated every other year, however, the library works to keep the most current information available on its Web site. “We do all we can to ensure that the information in printed directory is up-to-date when we go to press, but the world we live in is constantly changing,” she explained. “For that reason, we offer a searchable, online version that we update as we receive new information.”

To find out how you can obtain a copy, while supplies last, call the Thomasville library at 225.5252.
