Now that a new year has begun, we look forward to our commitment to bring to you the best in library services. We will continue to explore new online offerings; enhanced virtual programming; an increase in print materials; and an even better website presence.   

The Fulton County Library System (FCLS) is in sync with 60% of the libraries around the nation in offering a smart approach to library services during this pandemic. This year holds much promise, although things may not always be as easy as we'd like them to be. For now, curbside service moves forward. Staff are finding additional new ways to offer streaming program content. 

Also, plans are focused on ways to celebrate the end of the library renovations, with Central, and the soon to be newly built Hapeville Library, completing the project. The Library's Capital Improvement Program's end will be a milestone accomplishment.  
RB DIGITAL MAGAZINES MOVE TO OVERDRIVE
OverDrive has acquired RBdigital and will soon be transferring the ZINIO magazine service from RBdigital to OverDrive.
 
All library’s will be transferred Monday, February 1, 2021.

Beginning that morning, all titles from the OverDrive ZINIO magazine package will be added to your OverDrive platform. This process may take a few hours and once complete, it could take up to 24 hours for all titles to fully populate.

If you have any questions about how to access your favorite titles in OverDrive, submit your question to Ask-A-Librarian.
