The '''Azalea Regional Library System''' ('''AZRLS''') is a collection of ten [[public library|public libraries]] located partially in the [[Atlanta metropolitan area]] and [[Central Georgia]]. It is headquartered in [[Madison, Georgia]] and serves the counties of [[Greene County, Georgia|Greene]], [[Hancock County, Georgia|Hancock]], [[Jasper County, Georgia|Jasper]], [[Morgan County, Georgia|Morgan]], [[Putnam County, Georgia|Putnam]], and [[Walton County, Georgia|Walton]], of which 3532% of the population are members of the library.<ref name="GALib2017CurrentLook2020" />

Until 2020, the Azalea Regional Library System was named the '''Uncle Remus Regional Library System''' for [[Uncle Remus]], a fictional title character and narrator of many African-American folktales, whose stories were compiled by post-Reconstruction Atlanta journalist [[Joel Chandler Harris]] in the late 1880s. The logo for the library system was [[Br'er Rabbit]], who is one of the central figures of Uncle Remus' stories. On January 9, 2020, Regional Board of Trustees for the Uncle Remus Regional Library System voted to change the Regional System’s name to the Azalea Regional Library System.<ref>{{cite news |last= Ivey|first= Tia Lynn |date= 30 January 2020|title= Uncle Remus now Azalea Regional System|url= https://morgancountycitizen.com/2020/01/30/uncle-remus-now-azalea-regional-system/|work= Morgan County Citizen|___location= Madison, Georgia|access-date= 15 March 2020}}</ref>
