The chill remains in the air; there are still numerous questions all around us, about many things; and they all seem to greatly affect our day-to-day lives as we've never before experienced. Stick with it; find your resolve. 

In the library, we resolve to focus on African American History Month and Presidents' Day during the second month of this new year. Please check for those programs and materials of interest to you on those subjects, and all others. Stay tuned in March for the observance of Women's History Month.

Each month, programming will center on traditional and seasonal messaging, as well as showcase trending information about people, places and things that we hope you will find interesting. There are plans to add more podcasts and more virtual book reviews. We may repeat some of them for your enjoyment and as a refresher. We hope you enjoyed the craft programs and handouts that you received during December.

Around the nation, libraries, ours as well, continue to re-evaluate programs and services; and to re-imagine libraries amid this pandemic, which morphs almost daily. You will be kept informed of changes and tweaks to service as they happen throughout the Fulton County Library System (FCLS).
