Forsyth Public Library is thrilled to be partnering with Maroa Public Library on our very first combined Winter Reading Challenge - just for students at Maroa-Forsyth Grade School! MFGS students in grades PreK - 5 can participate in the challenge by spending 15 minutes reading a book that fits each category on the board. Once your young reader has completed a BINGO (across, down or diagonal), they can return the completed Winter Reading Challenge sheet to *either* the Forsyth Public Library OR the Maroa Public Library by January 17 to earn a prize and get their name entered into a drawing for our BIG Winter Reading gift basket. Happy reading!
We've extended our Holiday Ornament Drop-in another week! Stop in with the family and make our Round the Tree ornament, Corky the Snowman ornament or both. Take them home to put on your tree or give them as a gift to someone special.
The staff wishes all of our wonderful patrons Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year!
