The Quitman Public Library is participating in the month-long “Register in September – Vote in November” campaign, and volunteers will be available in the library’s front lobby Sept. 15 to assist with voter registration. National Voter Registration Day is the country’s largest single-day, nonpartisan voter registration drive. Voter registration forms are also available year-round at the library’s front desk.
September is National Library Card Sign-up Month, so stop in and apply for the smartest card around. Library cards are available to those who provide proof of residence in Wood County and photo identification. A guardian must sign for children ages 5-17.
The Pilot Club of Quitman sponsors Dolly’s Imagination Library, a program that makes it possible for every child from birth to age 5 to receive a free, age-appropriate book by mail each month. Children living in ZIP codes 75783, 75410 and 75497 may be enrolled at no cost. Stop by the library’s front desk to sign up and have your picture made with our cardboard Dolly cutout!
