Yes, we do have IRS State of Georgia tax forms at your public library. The public library is the only location besides a local IRS office for the public to obtain their tax forms. Recently, the Rossville Public Library received several boxes of the highly requested State of Georgia tax booklet and other Internal Revenue Service tax forms. You can pick up your IRS tax forms inside the lobby area of the public library. If you do not find the tax form that you are looking for, please ask one of the library staff at the main desk for assistance. You may search the IRS website at www.irs.gov to print a tax form or call the IRS to request a form or publication at (800) 829-3676.
Library customers can relax in our reading room area with a variety of magazines including Newsweek, People and Time and many more. Our customers stay informed reading the newspapers including the Walker County Messenger, the Chattanooga Times Free Press and the Wall Street Journal.

Carmella and the library staff are a friendly team and they make visiting the library a pleasant experience for all. Over the years, existing customers have enjoyed the face and name recognition from the library staff. It is nice to go to your local library and have them know you by name. Good memories, good books and good people — that is what you will find when you visit the Rossville Public Library. “Goodbye, see you next time” or “come back soon” is what you will often hear when leaving the library.
