Nothing boosts morale quite like a visit from the Humane Hearts Pet Therapy Program! 🐶

During Staff Training Day, our staff got a firsthand look at the benefits of pet therapy—complete with plenty of snuggles from amazing therapy dogs!

The Humane Hearts Pet Therapy Program serves Forsyth County and surrounding areas through visits to local schools, assisted living facilities, and FCPL! They make regular visits to every branch through our Paws to Read program, giving readers a safe, judgment-free space to practice their skills and build confidence.

What an incredible day of reading together as a community to celebrate literacy and honor America’s 250th anniversary! 📖

On September 21, FCPL welcomed Super Bowl champion Malcolm Mitchell to the Cu***ng Library for a special storytime commemorating our statewide win in the Georgia Reads for America250 Reading Challenge. Nearly 200 readers gathered to read with Malcolm—including the entire second-grade class from Cu***ng Elementary. Every participant received a copy of his bestselling children’s book, “Hey, Georgia”, before he captivated the room with his inspiring words and vibrant storytelling. Afterward, he stayed to meet with readers and sign their books!

A huge thank you to Malcolm Mitchell, Georgia Reads, the Georgia Municipal Association, and the Georgia Public Library Service for helping to make this event possible.

We are also grateful to our community partners who took the time to join us for such an exciting occasion: the Governor’s Office of Education and Workforce Strategy, the Professional Association of Georgia Educators, the Sandra Dunagan Deal Center for Early Language and Literacy, the Share the Magic Foundation, the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, leaders from Forsyth County Schools, State Librarian Angela Stanley, and the FCPL Board of Trustees.
