Quitman Library Connections

Posted

QPL Summer Reading, “Tails and Tales,” takes place during June, and there will be an activity and cartoon show scheduled each Wednesday from 2-3 p.m. in the library’s community room. The program is designed for children ages 4-12. Reading cards will be ready on June 1 at the library and on the library’s website at www.quitmanlibrary.org. Fill up the card and win a free ice cream cone courtesy of Sonic in Quitman, as well as a swim pass to the Quitman City Pool courtesy of Quitman-Lake Fork Kiwanis. Summer lunch snacks will be available for children daily, while they last, sponsored by the Quitman Rotary Club.   

The Quitman Public Library has joined E-Read Texas to bring you even more eBooks. E-Read Texas is a program that provides libraries access to over 6,000 eBook titles. These titles are available on an app called SimplyE. It is important to note that SimplyE is not replacing OverDrive/Libby. Rather, it combines all the materials from OverDrive and E-Read Texas to enhance your e-reading experience. However, if you prefer to just use OverDrive/Libby you do still have that option.

If you would like to check out SimplyE, download the app at the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Once downloaded, click on “Settings” and then “Accounts.” Click on “Add Library” and scroll down until you find “Quitman Public Library.” You will need to log in using your library card number. If you have any questions, please call the library at 903-763-4191.
