Exciting library update – we received notice that we were awarded a grant from the Texas Book Festival in September 2024:

Congratulations! On behalf of Texas Book Festival (TBF) and Texas Library Association (TLA), your library has been selected as a 2024 Texas Book Festival Collections Enhancement Grant recipient. We are proud to support the work you are doing to help foster a love of reading in your community and to best serve your library patrons with books that meet their needs and interests. We hope this gift will enhance your invaluable services.

This past week, we received the last of our books in from that grant. We are incredibly excited for these additions and can’t wait to get them in the hands of our patrons!

If you’ve never been to the Texas Book Festival, it is a wonderful event put on in Austin, Texas each year.

We have recently made a few changes to the Young Adult and Reference sections in the library. After running reports, we saw that the “humor” genre wasn’t circulating well. Plus, it was one of the smaller sections. Then, we realized that the Reference section wasn’t circulating since most patrons have access to our online reference databases. Because we want to make the most of the space we have, we decided to make some moves. Check out what we’ve done:

Young Adult

• Display Shelf for students – we now have a space to create student-specific displays when they walk into the library from the school.
• Fantasy – we spread out fantasy so you can find your favorite series.
• Historical and Horror – these genres are smaller, so they can now be found on the same row. Check the end caps for posters; they’ll tell you what genre is on the row.
• Graphic Novel and Manga – these sections are now spread out so you can find the manga series you want with ease!

Reference

• Egyptian collection – this section is more prominent and easier to find on the reference wall.
• Activities, games, and puzzles – our patrons have really enjoyed the games and puzzles we have in the library. We decided to make them easier to access for everyone with their very own section. We also added some great activities and sensory play for patrons of all ages.
