If you saw the following front page of the Forsyth County News last July, you already know that in terms of physical circulation, Sharon Forks Library is the busiest library in Georgia.

This year, the Sharon Forks Library has set out become even busier by reaching 1,000,000 physical checkouts by the end of 2026. Sharon Forks Library is determined to achieve this goal, and we feel confident in our patrons to help us reach it!
Every physical check out is counted in our total—from the smallest of picture books to the chunkiest of novels, every book counts! And don’t forget about magazines, books on CD, DVDs, Launchpads, Chromebooks, Storytime Kits…any physical item. They all count!
Forsyth County Public Library has the highest number of physical checkouts per capita among the 60 public library systems in Georgia, with Sharon Forks Library being the highest circulating branch in the state in terms of physical checkouts, followed closely by Post Road Library and Cumming Library (Source: FY2024 data tables from Georgia Public Library Service).
To keep up with our goal, Sharon Forks has created a visual tracker in our lobby. The theme is “Sharon Forks Wants to Be a Millionaire,” inspired by the gameshow “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” On the first of every month, the previous month's physical circulation numbers will be posted. So far in 2026, we have already achieved over 60,000 checkouts. Stop by the Sharon Forks Library to track our progress and help us get on our way to ONE MILLION checkouts!
