The Chestatee Regional Library System is now offering a unique service to patrons. It will now be possible to check out cake pans with your library card. We have a new collection of themed cake pans that you may take home and use for that special occasion. Some of the cake pans in the collection include Darth Vader, a baseball mit, and a train, among others.

So now when you want to host that Little League party, you can come check out a glove-shaped cake pan instead of spending $ 20.00 for something you might not use again. When your darling daughter is crazy about Hello Kitty this year, but next year she might be all about butterflies, we have the cake pans you need to make each occasion special. In today’s economy, our new cake pan collection is one way to “have your cake and eat it, too!” Stop by or call the Lumpkin County at 706-864-3668 or Dawson County library at 706-344-3690 to investigate what you might be able to cook up!
