Time continues to move forward no matter what we do, or don’t do. All of us have worked hard to revise and revamp our personal and professional lives to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope it has not brought too much upheaval to you, your family and your friends. If just the opposite is your experience, I hope that each day brings glimmers of hope to you and yours.
The observance of Thanksgiving will be upon us in a matter of weeks. As you begin to fill your days with plans and promises, get your reading list in order and put some books, movies and other materials on hold. Curbside service is ongoing at 31 libraries. You want to be ready for any downtime moments that might come your way. Therefore, take some time to check out a bestseller, DVD, audiobook or download books, movies and other virtual materials for your reading and research needs. Just go to www.fulcolibrary.org.

Fulton County Library System recently resumed the checking out of all passes currently available through our partnership pass program. If you are familiar with the program, you will know that these items are not typically "holdable" and must be checked out in person at the library, upon availability.
Please remember, the 24 hour hold will begin when you call the branch to the reserve the item. You will need to pick up the pass using our curbside services at your local branch within 24 hours. If the pass is not picked up, it will go to the next person waiting in line.
Please note: some of these passes currently have some restrictions on them, such as: reservations required before using. Please be sure to check the website of each of these partners, before visiting.
