Come in
from the summer heat, relax and enjoy the Quitman Public Library. With over
30,000 books, movies, audio books, magazines, newspapers and eBooks, there is
something for everyone. What makes great summer reading? It’s different for
everyone, but mostly a “good read” follows these criteria: nostalgia-inducing, a
little humor and romance, and a relaxing easy to follow storyline. Stop by and
check it out!
