The Quitman Public Library invites parents to combat National Anti-Boredom Month this July by bringing younger children to use our Ignite by Hatch computers. Ignite gives kids access to interactive lessons and engaging activities that make learning fun and help keep their academic performance on track during the summer.
The Pilot Club of Quitman is a program partner of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, which makes it possible for every child from birth to age 5 to receive one free, age-appropriate book by mail each month. You may enroll your children at no cost if you reside in ZIP codes 75783, 75410 or 75497. Stop by the library’s front desk to sign up today. As Dolly says, “You can never get enough books into the hands of enough children.”
The QPL Knitting & Crochet Club meets each Thursday from 2 to 4 p.m. in the library lobby. Students of all ages and skill levels are welcome to bring their own supplies and enjoy free instruction and pattern exchanges.
The Wood County Metal Detector Club is all about metal detecting and historical research in Wood County and surrounding counties. If you are interested in digging for treasure, join the meeting on the first Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the library’s Shamburger Community Room.
The Whyte Dove Writers’ Club meets monthly on the second Tuesday from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the library. Consider joining this distinctive group of local published authors.
