Sequoyah Regional Library System
The Sequoyah Regional Library System (SRLS) is a library system serving three counties in Georgia: Cherokee, Pickens, and Gilmer. These are three of the four easternmost counties of northwest Georgia (excluding Fannin in the far north), with Cherokee being part of north-northwest metro Atlanta, and Pickens and Gimer being further north, respectively. Funding is provided by the cities and counties in Cherokee and Pickens, and by the board of education in Gilmer.
It is named for Sequoyah, a native Cherokee man who invented the Cherokee alphabet in the 19th century, so that the spoken Cherokee language could be written.
