One of my favorite activities when our boys were little was to visit the local library and attend storytimes. And although Fulton County libraries are still temporarily closed, there are still ways to find an escape through library books and storytimes.
| STORYTIMES |
Fulton County libraries are hosting virtual storytimes Monday - Friday at 11:00 AM EST. The storytimes can be watched from the comfort of your own home through the Fulton County Library System Facebook page HERE.
| CHECK OUT BOOKS |
A perfect way for kids to spend some of their free time over the winter break is READING! Even though the libraries are closed to the public, you can still check out books. Have your kids peruse the library catalog HERE and select up to 15 books they would like to read. And don't forget to pick out a few books for yourself too! I am currently reading Nantucket Nights by Elin Hilderbrand. I just finished Ask Again,Yes by Mary Beth Keane. And my favorite book I read in 2020 was Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens.
A couple of my all time favorite books are The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate, Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly and The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. I also always love Ruth Ware books.
If you are looking for other book recommendations, I always to go Goodreads Best of Book Awards HERE and then I put some of the books on hold at the library.
For the books on hold at the library, you will be notified when your books are ready to be be picked up via curbside.
CURBSIDE: To pick-up library materials on hold, residents are asked to:
- Bring their library or photo ID to the branch where their items are being held
- Follow signs to designated parking spaces for curbside service
- Call the number on signs to alert a staff member that they have arrived and provide their name
- Show the staff member photo ID or library card through closed window
- Open/unlock trunk or back seat door to allow library staff to place items in their vehicle
| ASK LIBRARIANS QUESTIONS |
Fulton County Library System will continue to operate the Ask A Librarian service for all library patrons in need of assistance or services not available during curbside services. Virtual programming will continue on Library social media platforms by following @fulcolibrary.
