We continue to be thankful for the many donations - large and small - that are coming in to the Feed the Need Food Pantry Shelf at Forsyth Public Library each and every week. The shelves are fully restocked thanks to a generous drop-off from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and we invite anyone who could use a little extra to stop in during normal library hours to fill a bag.

Holiday Gift Wrap Station
Beginning Saturday, December 13 through Friday, December 19 during regular library hours &
Saturday, December 20 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Have you ever longed for a place without prying eyes, tiny grabbing hands or furry paws making gift wrapping frustrating and difficult? We have just what you need - the Holiday Gift Wrap Station! Bring your gifts and gift wrap to the Program Room where you’ll find tape, scissors, ribbon and tags, but no little - or big - bodies getting in the way. You can take your time while having some coffee or a chat with some other Wrappers. We’ll even have some information on how to wrap gifts in super fun and creative new ways that’ll make you look like a Master Wrapper!
