Our FREE notary services are available to anyone who needs them and has a current photo ID. Though we have two notaries, it's best to call ahead to make sure someone is available. We also ask that you visit the library Monday through Friday before 4:30 p.m. as our notaries are generally unavailable after 5:00 p.m.

September is Library Card Sign Up Month!
Forsyth Residents - sign up for a library card and check out its possibilities! From borrowing books to getting homework assistance, a library card can help you do more of what you need and enjoy. Having a library card can inspire you to begin a new hobby. Maybe you need some information on home maintenance. And for those in school - young and old - a library card can be your most important school supply.
If you’re a Forsyth resident - Kindergarten and above - and don’t have a card, stop in and let our awesome staff help. If you're NOT a Forsyth resident, check with your local library about how to get a card. Once you have one, you're welcome to use it at FPL. It could make the impossible possible.
