LH Library supports our schools

As the school year nears, it's time to remind all you Liberty Hill-billies that your public library supports your schools. We realize each school has it's own library, but we still are able supplement and help out. The elementary students annually participate in the Bluebonnet Reading program. As your public library, we have all the Bluebonnet books and they are labelled as such and on a special display. We hope to help more children read more of these items by having them available.

Junior High students encounter the LoneStar reading list, all titles which can be found in your public library as well, again, labelled.

We also support the schools by having the AR reading levels and points on our books. This will aid you and your child in picking out books they can test on and in reading at appropriate levels.

Starting Wednesday, September 2, story time resumes. We will be meeting at our usual 10:30 am on Wednesdays in the library. All are welcome to join us as we spend time in September talking about books, libraries and school.

Remember, we are here for YOU. Suggestions are more than welcome and if you haven't been in to visit lately, PLEASE DO!!!

Library Changes

As most of you know, Lynda McClain has retired as Director of the LH Library. I am currently serving as Interim Director as I finish my Masters Degree in Library Science, at which point I will assume the Directors Role.

All this means that we now have a new staff member to introduce you to if you haven't already met her. Susan Rozmiarek joined the library staff almost six months ago on a part time basis. Slipping effortlessly into her new duties made Susan an easy choice to fill the role of Library Assistant on a full time basis.

As we go through these staff transitions, we hope to remain a smooth running operation. As always, stop on in with book suggestions, to use the computer or just to get caught up on the local news. We love knowing all of you and seeing your smiling faces!
