Participation in this research study includes: - Participate in a book club that reads and discusses selected young adult horror books - Attend several book club meetings (approximately 60 90 minutes) held at the Athens-Clarke County Library - Engage in group discussions about the books, including sharing thoughts, interpretations, and reactions ***Given the graphic nature of these texts and the context of this research study, all participants will need a signed permission form from their legal guardians. Please contact kacee.cooper@uga.edu or ya@athenslibrary.org if you're interested!

Athens is the University of Georgia's town and the birthplace of R.E.M. and the B-52s. The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, Sandy Creek Nature Center and Bear Hollow Zoo are free or nearly so, and game days turn the whole city red and black. The Athens-Clarke County Library is the regional hub for northeast Georgia.
Holiday events for kids in Athens, 2026: tree lightings, light displays, Santa visits and gingerbread workshops, day by day.
41 children’s events are on in Athens in the next seven days, read every night from the calendars of Athens-Clarke County Library (19 branches, 183 upcoming programmes), plus Georgia Safari Conservation Park and Imagine That Indoor Play Village. Library programmes are free. Museum and zoo events say “admission may apply”; check the venue for prices.
56 places to collect. Tap “I'm here” when you're at one and the stamp goes in your book; collect 5 and print the certificate.
Stamps live on your phone. Open your passport to see them all, print the certificate, or save them to your email.
Yes and no. Every event, time, address and link is open to anyone. An account only lets you save outings you plan to go to.
Each library and venue calendar is re-read every night, so a cancelled storytime disappears within a day. Times are shown in Athens’s own time zone.
Babies and toddlers, preschoolers, early grades, tweens and teens. Pick an age range above to narrow the list; leave them all off to see everything.
