The Quitman Public Library is participating in the monthlong “Register in September – Vote in November” voter registration campaign. Forms are available at the front checkout desk.
September is also National Library Card Sign-up Month, so stop in and see what your library has to offer. Patron cards are free for Wood County residents who provide proof of residence and photo identification. A guardian must sign for children ages 5-17.
Near the checkout area is a display of books arranged by QPL staff to highlight the American Library Association’s Banned Books Month and promote the freedom to read.
Tutoring is available each Wednesday at 4 p.m. Whether you are studying for a General Educational Development (GED) certificate or just brushing up on your math skills, it helps to have a professional tutor who can guide you through the process. Contact Sara de la Rosa at saradelarosa@outlook.com.
