Forsyth County Public Library Happenings - September 2022

In addition to being National Potato Month, National Sewing Month, and Save Your Photos Month, September is also National Library Card

Sign-Up Month!

If you're reading this newsletter, you probably already have a Forsyth County Public Library card

OR…

…you have a wonderfully thoughtful friend or relative who forwarded you this newsletter to show you some of the great things available at FCPL. 

Is having a library card right for you? Take this brief quiz to find out:
- Do you enjoy reading, listening to music, watching movies, or attending educational and entertaining programs... for FREE?
- Would you like free access to countless publications and resources like Consumer Reports, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Ancestry.com, free tutoring from Tutor.com, and more?
- Would you enjoy free passes to popular destinations and attractions across Georgia including Georgia State Parks, Alliance Theater, the Bremen Museum, Zoo Atlanta, and others?  
- Do you want your children to become lifelong learners who love to read?
- Do you appreciate outstanding customer service delivered by people who love what they do?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are the perfect fit for a library card from FCPL!

Library cards are available at no charge to residents of Forsyth County, property or business owners in Forsyth County, employees of Forsyth County government, and currently enrolled students or employees of any public or private educational institution in Forsyth County.

Anyone who is not eligible for a free library card may obtain an out-of-county library card for an annual fee of $60.00 (and many people do). “It’s the best bargain in town! Cheaper than my Netflix subscription,” people
tell us all the time.

So what are you waiting for? Visit your nearest library and find out what else you can do with your library card, sign up for a library card, or forward this newsletter to someone who might enjoy all the wonderful things FCPL has to offer.
