WorkForce to be in-house

The Workforce Solutions representative will be in the library on Wednesday from 1 to 4 p.m. to help anyone who needs employment opportunities.

The library will be closed on Thursday for observance of Texas Independence Day. A day to remember.

The library had a Valentine’s Day card party. We made Valentine’s cards, and it was a great time. The library has been blessed with donations of the different small machines and supplies to make cards for the library to sell. We will be making greeting cards for every occasion, and they will be for sale for $1 each. Please come by and check out our assortment of greeting cards. This will be an ongoing fundraiser for the library.

•We here at the library are having a really fun time working on the Calendar Challenge. We have 48 different categories to read from and your librarian is excited to participate and read new books also. I won’t be a contestant, but it will be fun to take the challenge.

To participate you just need to have your updated library card and get a copy of our calendar poster and it tells you all the rules. This will be a challenge for the year, and we will give prizes at the end of the year at the Christmas Open House to all who finish the challenge. Come see your librarian for more details and join the fun.

•The library is on a mission to raise 1 million pennies. We are asking everyone to save pennies and give them to the library. The Groveton ISD school library is helping us to collect the pennies from the students. They have given our public library so much needed help. We are blessed to have such an awesome school library for our children.

Donation jars are at One Stop Grocery and Pizza, McClain’s Hardware and Susie Q’s. Please support these businesses because they support our town and your library. This week we deposited $172 into our new library building account. The total for our New Library Building Fund is now $4,181.98. Thank you to everyone who is bringing pennies and dropping change into jars. It will take everyone saving pennies to reach our goal of one million pennies.
