Local libraries in and around Alpharetta are some of the best places to take your children for FREE events throughout the year as well as to check out reading books! Below are great events for kids from pre-school through high school. Check to see if there is an RSVP or first come first serve on certain popular events. For a full list of programs and events visit websites, www.afpls.org or www.forsythpl.org and check AMO’s list of library events below. All programs are free and open to the public.
Libraries are also a training ground for students of all ages to expand their knowledge and explore creative pursuits. The development of makerspaces is just one way libraries are seeking to meet this demand, ranging from low-tech, hands-on engineering opportunities for children and teens using toys and kits to the incorporation of high-tech tools like laser cutters and 3D printers.
Librarians provide important resources to families whose children are at the earliest stages of development, by teaching parents and caregivers the components of early literacy which help children develop the basic tools for school readiness.
Older students can access high-speed Internet, digital tools and the opportunity to work with trained professionals on how to use them. Librarians provide guided training in digital media and help students grow digital literacy skills. Libraries also provide equity of access to digital tools and media, which has become increasingly important in high-poverty areas where students are less likely to have a computer or internet access in the home.

Forsyth County Public Libraries
A library card is not required to participate in library events such as storytimes, author visits, holiday concerts and performances, and writing workshops, so FCPL encourages their patrons to bring guests to visit the library.
A full schedule of free programs at all library locations is available on the Events Calendar at www.forsythpl.org.
