Children of all ages with sensory sensitivities or other special needs can enjoy a relaxed visit with Santa Claus at the library's Sensitive Santa programs. Families can sign up for a 10-minute visit, giving children time to become comfortable with Santa, rather than being rushed through the visit. Parents and caregivers are welcome to take photos during their family’s visit with Santa. Registration is required to attend. Please let us know if your child will need a longer time or special consideration.

It's hard to believe that almost 18 months have passed since we first started sharing new materials and reading recommendations with our patrons on Instagram. Each week we enjoy finding hidden gems in the stacks and bringing good books to your attention. It has also been our distinct pleasure to hear about the books you love and help you recommend them to other local readers. We're looking forward to carrying on with the #ShelfLife in 2018 and we hope you'll join our conversation on Instagram. If there's a book you'd like to share, please feel free to tag us @forsythpubliclibrary and use the hashtags #ShelfLife and #ForsythReads. Not an Instagram user? No worries. We collect our #ShelfLife posts on the Bookmarked Blog at the end of each week, so you can stop by and leave us a comment about what you're reading or tell us what you'd like to see next in our feed. |
