September is here and so are our programs! We hope you have been able to attend some of our offerings. Only one program requires registration, the American Girls Historical Reading Club. You may call 903-569-2767 and ask for Mrs. Pam for more information.
Something you may not know about is our e-book platforms.
We have Project Gutenberg, which includes titles that are now in the public domain. These can be found in our card catalog with the location listed as “Project Gutenberg,” and you can download them to read.
There is also Freading, which offers more modern literature, and our Cloud Library, provided by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, which features more recent releases.
For audiobooks, LibriVox offers public domain titles. There are also some available through Freading and more through Cloud Library. Cloud Library and Freading can be found near the center of our website.
You will need a Mineola Memorial Library card and PIN (personal identification number) to use the library’s e-book services. Freading and Cloud Library also require an app, which can be found in your device’s app store.
Need help? Just call the library at 903-569-2767 or stop by 301 N. Pacific St. during business hours.
Here are a few other things you might not know.
