Sequoyah Regional Library System Receives 2026 Agricultural Book of the Year Donation

The Georgia Foundation for Agriculture, Georgia Farm Bureau and Georgia Electric

Membership Corporation (EMC) are jointly promoting agricultural literacy by donating copies of the children’s book “I Love Blueberries” to Sequoyah Regional Library System.

The Georgia Foundation for Agriculture (GFA) and Georgia EMC have given each county Farm Bureau in Georgia enough books for every public library in the county. The Cherokee County Farm Bureau, Pickens County Farm Bureau, and Gilmer County Farm Bureau each delivered a copy of the book to Sequoyah Regional Library System.

“I Love Blueberries,” written by Shannon Anderson, follows two young girls on a mission to grow both fresh blueberries and new friendship. Exploring the world of hydroponics, the book features comical scrapbook style entries and creative sketchbook style illustrations that are sure to keep young readers entertained. The American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture selected the book as its 2026 Book of the Year for its accurate and positive portrayal of agriculture.

The GFA began donating accurate books about agriculture to each public library in Georgia in 2016. Georgia EMC joined the foundation as a sponsor of this endeavor in 2018.
