Quitman Library Connections

Posted

September is National Library Card Sign-up Month, so stop by the Quitman Public Library and apply for the smartest card around.

Library cards are available for those providing proof of residence in Wood County and photo identification. A guardian must sign for children 5-7.

The library is participating in the month-long “Register in September – Vote in November” campaign, and volunteers will be available to assist. Forms are available at the front desk.

Near the checkout area is a display of books arranged by the QPL staff to highlight the American Library Association’s “Banned Books Month” each September to promote freedom to read.

The Pilot Club of Quitman has partnered with Dolly’s Imagination Library,  a program which makes it possible for every child from birth to five to receive one free, age-appropriate book by mail each month.

You may enroll your children at no cost if you reside in the following zip codes 75783, 75410 and 75497. Stop by the front desk to sign up today and have your picture made with the cardboard Dolly cutout.

There is always something to do at the library.

Friends of the Library invites the public to join this volunteer group of library supporters at monthly meetings on second Thursdays at noon.

Photographers of all levels are invited to the In-Focus Photography Club of East Texas that meets monthly on last Mondays at the library at 5:30 p.m.
