According to Jacksonville’s Channel 4 News it’s a strong possibility that Kingsland, Georgia, can get a new Mega Mall. Kingsland is in a perfect location for a mall, right next to interstate 95. The new development could bring thousands of jobs to Camden County as well.
What do you think? How would a shopping mall of this size impact Kingsland and Camden County in general? Will it change Camden from small town to Jacksonville suburb, or is it something we need to get more jobs and more money to the county?

The Camden County Public Library will host the Monthly Co-ed Book Discussion Group on Wednesday, March 24th at 4:30. The book discussions are held in the Library’s Community Room. All attendees must be eleven years or older.
The book selected for the discussion is Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz. This is the first book in the thrilling new Alex Rider Series. This book relates to a teenage audience.
The book begins with the mysterious death of Alex Rider’s uncle and questionable events that occur afterwards. Alex decides to investigate and is thrown into a world of espionage and evil. Alex receives help from British Intelligence and is recruited into M16.
The plot progresses realistically and allows readers to become lost in the world of gadgets and secrecy. Characters are imaginative and many people can relate to them. Mr. Horowitz paints a detailed picture of spies and secret operations.
There is a website www.alexrider.com that offers fans or interested parties the first chapters of each of the missions, contests, newsletters, and other interesting information. The 8th Novel in the Alex Riders Series was just released this year.
Copies of the book are available for extended check-out at the Library’s circulation desk. Refreshments will be served at the discussion meeting.
Joining thousands of private citizens, three elementary schools and a high school, St. Marys City Hall and St. Marys Middle School are launching recycling programs at their respective facilities.
Alex Kearns, Chair of St. Marys EarthKeepers, stated, “The St. Marys EarthKeepers congratulate City Hall and St. Marys Middle School on their recent decision to implement recycling programs. We are thrilled to have been able to assist them in their efforts. From the participation of our City’s leaders to the activities in our schools, our community is demonstrating its commitment to thoughtful environmental stewardship. The experience and knowledge that our students gain from these efforts ‘trickles upward’ to the adults and results in both greater awareness and positive change.”
St. Marys Middle School joins St. Marys Elementary School, Mary Lee Clark Elementary School, Sugarmill Elementary School and Camden County High School in helping to lead the way in educating our youth about environmental responsibility. Teachers and students at the schools have organized “green” groups” to promote recycling and other practices that contribute to our planet’s sustainability.
“With more than 1,200 students and a sizeable staff, St. Marys Middle School’s recycling program is sure to be highly effective,” Kearns said. “The EarthKeepers are most grateful to Advanced Disposal for their ongoing assistance and pro bono services in our schools.” Advanced Disposal is the contractor responsible for garbage collection and curbside recycling in St. Marys, Woodbine, and the County.
With a twice-the-national-average recycling compliance rate and the enthusiastic participation of students and now City Hall, St. Marys is rapidly earning a reputation for both civic involvement and environmental responsibility.
Bunnies, Rabbits and Lambs are often associated with Easter because most babies of the animals are born in spring around Easter time. In celebration of Easter this year the Camden County Public Library will host a “Bunny Towel Craft” on Thursday, March 25th at 4:30pm in the Community Room. Participants will make a cloth bunny using a dish towel.
The class is free and open to the public. We welcome adults and children, but request that all children be 12 years of age or older. Please sign-up for the class at the Circulation Desk in the library or call (912) 729-3741.
