For the first week of September, the Roswell Library kicks off a special Library Card Month activity for kids.  Children who tell us why they love the library by writing a sentence (or two) or drawing a picture will receive a prize.  For adults, there are copies of 52 Ways to Use the Library (one for every week of the year!) available in the library's lobby.

More reasons to love the library include the Friends' bookstore, a french story time, the return of Zumba, and other great programs listed on our website:  www.forl.net.  Be sure to mark your calendars for author Marc Fitten, who will stop by the library September 15 at 2:00 p.m.
