Summer Reading Plans Underway...donations needed

The Liberty Hill Public Library is in the planning stages of our Summer Reading Program and is seeking help! Our theme this year is “Dig up a good book!”

One program we are planning is a LARGE EQUIPMENT PETTING ZOO….this means the BIG trucks. We are looking for people who have the large trucks to bring them to the library for the program, let the kids explore the trucks, and answer the kids questions. If you have access or own a piece of large equipment we would LOVE to hear from you.

Due to drastically decreased revenue over the past years, we have no funding for summer reading this year and are asking for donations to make it happen. If you are willing to give of your time, money, talents or goods, we would love to hear from you.

Our WISH LIST for the program :

Large equipment as listed above
Summer Reading Volunteers that LOVE working with kids and are enthusiastic
Craft talent - to do samples of crafts, paint library doors, lead crafts
Donations of snacks/drinks for programs
Coupon/prize donations from local businesses
Craft supplies, list will be available in library
Monetary donations to run program

If you haven’t been by the library lately, we invite you to stop in. Remember, we are your FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY, there is no cost to join and you might just be surprised at what we have for you. Come in and pick up the latest book releases, a Wii game to try out, the hottest box office movies. Yes, FREE!

Chalk it up to the library.....

Storytime this last week, beautiful weather, a bucketful of chalk. Miss Sandy CANNOT resist mixing those all together. Here you see what happened when the chalk bucket was grabbed and the kiddos rounded up and herded outside. Miss Sandy poses Gage on the ground and proceeds to outline him so that he can create his own person. Not to be outdone, Gage then proclaims it's HIS turn and has to outline Miss Sandy on the ground as well.

You just NEVER know what is in store, don't miss storytimes on Wednesdays at 10:30 am.

We have the first two in the series, they are hitching a ride home with April tomorrow, so ask her what she thinks about her new discovery! I'm dying to hear, I always need a new read.

Proposed Budget in Texas Nearly Zeros Out Key State Library Funds

Very concerned....Liberty Hill....you like your TexShare cards? Borrowing books from other libraries via Interlibrary loan? We receive an annual grant from the state which is a BIG part of budget....we'd say bye-bye to it. HELP!! Ask us how.
