Take notice of the library

Sisters, Liz and Kate Fursova, take advantage of the free WiFi at the VZC library. Access to the WiFi is available on the front porch at 317 First Monday Lane when the library is closed.

Freebie Third Friday will be held at noon Aug. 21.  The Van Zandt County Library and Educate Van Zandt will host their second brown bag-lunch-and-learning time. 

Cindy Rakestraw’s topic will be needlework in the Buchanan Room of the Library.  No reservation is necessary.

Pencil in 10 a.m. on the second Monday of each month so you will not miss a single meeting of Friends of the Library in 2015-‘16. 

An often overlooked section of the library is the young adult area.   Older pre-teens and teenagers may find loads of fiction—and reference—that is geared for their reading levels. 

Accelerated reading books are tagged in the catalogue.  Ask a staff member how to find what you need.

County, Tyler and Dallas newspapers are displayed on the table in the reading area.  As these are replaced by new ones, the older ones are filed on a shelf nearby, and are available for several weeks after publication date.  Magazines are put into the bin behind the display for one year after receipt. 

Take notice of the new displays in the foyer of the Library.  The Genealogy Society has recently put up a new one about churches in the county. 

Recent memorials include, for Janie Browning and Jan Brooks from Martha and Henry Lewis; for Janie Browning and Charlie Barton from David, Susie and Stacy Pulley and for Mike Staton from Mr. and Mrs. Harold Staton.   Also received was a gift in honor of Ann Spruiell from Mrs. Ben Monning Jr.

The mailing address is Friends of the Library, P.O. Box 1072, Canton, 75103 or gifts may be left at the library.

 

Here’s to good reading!
