Legacy
Such recognition has solidified the influence that Charles Beard has had on Georgia’s libraries as well as libraries across the nation. His involvement in numerous state and national committees and projects, his forty years of dedication, and participation in projects such as the development of GALILEO have all shown his impact. He fell ill in 2004, and was unable to attend even his retirement ceremony that took place mere days prior to his death. He left a long and valuable legacy in his wake, which is still honored and respected by libraries all over Georgia.
