Be a Friend to the library

Friends of the Van Zandt County Library will begin the 2015-‘16 year at 10 a.m. Monday, Sept. 14 in the Buchanan Room of the Library.  Please make it a point to be on hand for a “Look Back-Look Forward.”   Annual dues are due, and life memberships are still available.

An American Girl Doll and an Acer Chrome notebook are the fall raffle items for 2015. 

Only 152 tickets will be offered on each item, and are available at the Library or from Friends.  One hundred percent of the proceeds benefit library programs.  All children’s books, newspapers, and magazines are funded through the Friends efforts.  Many other items that the annual budget does not support are provided through the generosity of the citizens in support of Friends of the Library. 

Many audio books are in Van Zandt County Library.  They are catalogued with the prefix DVD, so it is easy to look and see if your favorite is included.  Notice there are some special rules about checkout times. 

Users of the public computers are urged to read the Computer Usage notice that is beside the signup sheet.  One paragraph (which is printed on a sign above the copy machine) deals with copy costs.  If you are unsure how to print just what you want, but perhaps not the whole article, ask a staff member for help.  The Library has to pay for paper and ink whether you make a mistake or not.  The charge has to be made for each page.  Thank you for your cooperation. 

Remember to check the Library website, Facebook or even make a phone call to 903-567-4276 if you need Library information.  Unsure about operation hours?  There is a pesky answering machine if no one is on duty. 

Come to Friends of the Library meeting Sept. 14 and rejoice in the progress of  the Van Zandt County Library.
