Reading program starts

Our Children’s Summer Reading Program will be starting on Thursday, June 1, and will continue through July with our end of the summer party on July 28. Your librarian is very excited to see how much our program grows from last year. Our theme is “Bee Kind.” If you have children or know of any children who would enjoy our summer program, please tell them to call the library at (936) 642-2483 or come by the library during our working hours.

We are honored to have Dallas and Wall’E coming to the library on Tuesday, June 6, to read to the children. Wall’E will be 6 years old on July 4. Wall’E was found at the U.S. border wall, hence his namesake. He was rescued and is now a Certified Therapy Dog who loves to read to children. Your librarian is excited to have Dallas and Wall’E in our library.

Our Summer readers will also have extra activities such as greeting card classes. We have greeting cards for sale at the library for a fundraiser. The cost is $1 per card. Please remember this when you need cards and support your library. We will have Father’s Day Cards for sale coming in the future.
