Meet Our Library Board Members

Our library system is fortunate to have two libraries...the Moultrie-Colquitt County Public Library and the Ellen Payne Odom Genealogical Library. Both libraries are housed under one roof located at 204 Fifth Street, Southeast, in Moultrie,
Georgia.
That also means we have two library boards...one for the public library and one for the genealogical library. They meet four times a year...in February, May, September and November. And both boards are represented by great people guiding the future of these institutions.
I won't get into what their professions or public lives are, but I would like to tell you who they are.
So, let's start with the Odom Library Board. The members are Sheldon Brooks, Merle Baker, James Jeter, Jack Bridwell, Ginger Horkan, Bill McIntosh, and Lauren Howell.
Doug Strange is the president of the Odom Board, as well as the MCCL Board.
The MCCL Board members are Diane Stephens, Myrtle Croft, Joanne Smith, Sherrod McCall, Terry Clark, Michael Helms, Alice Slocumb, Melinda Wright, Ed Willis, Jimmy Taylor, and Jim Soos.
Melody Jenkins is the director of the library system and a member of both boards.
We're fortunate in having these fine people serve the patrons of our community. If you live in Moultrie and you see them around town, stop them and tell them how much you appreciate their interest and willingness to be a library board member. Thanks to them our libraries are in good hands and continue to grow.
We just need to let them know we think they're great!!!
