Hello everyone.
Let’s welcome the month of May. Do you remember when schools had May Day activities? I know that was a long time ago and dates me. However, when many of us were students, we looked forward with excitement, every year, to those special moments shared with friends and family. They seemed to almost kickoff summer and moved us more quickly to the last day of school.
Now, it might be that we have to find our own special moments in May. So, I am inviting you to make more time for reading and enjoying a good novel, poem, or collection of short stories. Also, Mother’s Day is almost here. Give a literary gift to the mother figure in your life. Perhaps there are those whom you admire for their dedication to mothering; don’t forget to add a book to their card of gratitude and encouragement. Cookbooks may come in handy at this time, as well as books on interior design, gardening and storage. Just checkout the library online and soon, in person.
That’s right, you will soon be able to come back into the library in-person. On Tuesday, May 4th and Saturday, May 8th, the Fulton County Library System will again offer patrons access to in-person services, although limited. That access will continue through May, on Tuesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and on Saturdays, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

We are proud to celebrate National Volunteer Week April 18-24, 2021 and to shine a light on our dedicated library volunteers.
This week has been celebrated since 1974 and although we can’t see them in person right now, our volunteers are a vital part of the library system’s success.
Thank you to the over 23,200 volunteers who have served over 1.3 million volunteer hours at the library over the past 31 years. #NVW #LOCALLIGHT

April is Stress Awareness month, and Fulton County Libraries has many different online resources to help our patrons learn about stress and other health related topics.
The Infobase Health Reference Center contains articles from medical, scientific, and academic publications like The Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Good Health, The Encyclopedia of Stress and Stress-Related Diseases, and The Facts On File Encyclopedia of Health and Medicine, along with dozens of similar resources.
Like all platforms offered by Infobase, tools for citing and evaluating sources is provided.
