I have been seeing so much news about Forsyth County being the TOP or near the top of the list for Georgia "this" or Georgia "that" lately. I am feeling very proud that I live and work in this community. Purely by accident many years ago but feel blessed all the same.
So what's up? Well, based on the HAPLR Index, the Forsyth County Public Library system is ranked #2 in the state behind Newton County. As an avid reader, I knew Forsyth had a nice library here but am pleased to see it is above the norm for our state. Recently, a new branch was built right outside of my neighborhood - talk about convenient! This library, The Hampton Park Library, located at 5345 Settingdown Road, features 60,000 items for checkout, computer stations, children's programs, and more. You can get more information about the library, and it's branches and programs at www.forsyth.public.lib.ga.us.
The ranking identifies how well the library system is serving the community with the funding it receives. With a ranking well below the highest of 1,000, we have room for improvement but overall, our library system is great and should be enjoyed by everyone. Check it out!
