September is Library Card Sign Up Month!
Forsyth Residents - sign up for a library card and check out its possibilities! From borrowing books to getting homework assistance, a library card can help you do more of what you need and enjoy. Having a library card can inspire you to begin a new hobby. Maybe you need some information on home maintenance. And for those in school - young and old - a library card can be your most important school supply.
If you’re a Forsyth resident - Kindergarten and above - and don’t have a card, stop in and let our awesome staff help. If you're NOT a Forsyth resident, check with your local library about how to get a card. Once you have one, you're welcome to use it at FPL. It could make the impossible possible.
