Thank you to all who enjoyed “Blind Date with a Book” during February.
Hopefully, you found new titles and authors that you may not have read before. Please give us your feedback and tell us about your book the next time you are in the library!
Mark your calendars for “Dr. Seuss Day” at the Texas County Library. This event will be at two of our branches: Licking, 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, March 2, and Houston, 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, March 9. There will be activities, reading stories, refreshments and more.
Oh, you could not, would not, want to miss this! All ages welcome.
Our Houston location invites you to Texas County Adult book club with your host librarian, Lee Ann Akins. The next club meeting will be on Saturday, March 23. at 1:30 p.m.
Check out these new arrivals on the shelves: “The Atlas Maneuver” by Steve Berry; “Danes Mark” by Lora Leigh; “The Summer Book Club” by Susan Mallery; “Far Beyond Gold” by Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone; and my pick this week is “The Collected Regrets of Clover” by Mikki Brammer.
Our Houston Branch is looking for “Friends” to be a part of our “Friends of the Library” group. The time commitment is very light; to learn more just contact me at 417-967-2258.
All Texas County libraries have story times each week on Tuesdays and Thursdays, appropriate for all ages. The librarians love to read and do crafts with your kiddos. Call your local branch for days and times, or go to our website and view our calendar.
There are also LEGOS and STEM kits the kids can enjoy any day of the week.
The Houston Branch has gently used books for sale year-round. The proceeds go toward new books!
We provide several services such as copies, faxes, scanning, wi-fi and computers for adults and kids. Library cards are free; you just need to show your ID and proof of your address.
