New Bookstore for the Sharon Forks Library

Patch Staff Report

Due to the success of their bookstores at the Cumming Library and the Post Road Library, the Forsyth County Public Library Friends & Advocates on Wednesday announced the opening of their third bookstore at the Sharon Forks Library.

Housed inside of the library, the cozy “Sharon Forks Friends Bookstore” will provide patrons with another place to shop for fantastic deals on adult fiction and children’s books.

According to a news release, the store will stock both hardback and paperback adult fiction as well as children’s fiction and nonfiction items, ranging from board books for babies through young adult titles. As with the other bookstores, all of the proceeds will go back into the library.

The Cumming Library’s Friends Bookstore will remain the flagship store and has the largest selection of nonfiction books along with fiction, children’s items, and other media like magazines and CDs.

The Friends Store at the Post Road Library opened in August 2013 and offers adult fiction, children’s, and select non-fiction books. The FCPL Friends & Advocates are excited to offer the community another low cost bookstore location at the Sharon Forks Library.

The grand opening of the Sharon Forks Friends Bookstore will be on Saturday, March 22 with a ribbon cutting at 10:30 a.m. The store will have the same operating hours as the Sharon Forks Library and will be open 7 days a week.

The Friends & Advocates are still in need of volunteers to help staff the store. Volunteer duties will include assisting customers and helping keep the shelves stocked. No heavy lifting is required. If interested, please email them at contact@forsythfol.org.
