Thanks to Andy Skrzynski for spending time at the Library on Saturday, March 16, promoting the third book in his science fiction series: The New World Crimson Winter. We do have a copy.

Don’t forget about our on-line resources in the Tex Share databases. There is information for DIY crafts and small engine repair, Chilton resources, and health guides to name a few. It is all accessible with your library card!

Need books on gardening now that it looks like it might stay sunny for a while? Stop in and take a look at our books in the 600 section for gardening ideas. Hope to see you soon!
