As part of the Mayor’s Reading Club Program, GCS commissioned a children’s book series to teach young readers about local government.
"Georgia Caroline Visits City Hall," the first book in a five book series, follows Georgia Caroline and her classmates on a field trip to City Hall in their hometown of Happyville, Georgia.
They are excited to meet Mayor Joneson and find out what a mayor does and what happens in City Hall. Led by City Manager Noe, Georgia Caroline and her classmates get a behind-the-scenes tour of City Hall and learn about city services and operations. They even get to drop in on a City Council meeting in progress where a vote is being taken on a parks project and they run into Mrs. Rezi Dent who is a friend of Georgia Caroline's grandmother.
In "Georgia Caroline Meets Our Hometown Heroes," Georgia Caroline and her friends take a field trip to the City of Happyville’s police and fire departments where they get a special behind-the-scenes tour and learn what it means to be a hometown hero.
In “Georgia Caroline Visits the Water Treatment Plant”, Georgia Caroline and her classmates take a field trip to the City of Happyville’s Water Treatment Plant. They meet Quinn, the waterdrop, and learn how the city provides safe, clean water to the community.
