A big “Thank you!” to local sponsors, City
National Bank – Quitman and Wood County National Bank, for supporting this year’s
Youth Financial Literacy Money Camp at the Quitman Public Library! Gateway to
American Libraries presented certificates and awards to over twenty of the
library’s youngest readers.
Summer reading programs may be over, but the
library has many new e-books aimed for elementary-aged children that are
available online by visiting the library’s home page. These virtual books are
narrated in several different languages.
With school starting back soon, homeschool instructors
as well as public school teachers are encouraged to download the OverDrive® app
to connect to our library’s vast collection of eBooks, audio books and
streaming video. Also, our online
TexShare Database is loaded with invaluable and up-to-the-minute research tools
and reference resources. Call or stop by the library for log-in information.
The 2nd Friday
Acoustical Music Jam has been suspended until further notice due to maximum

Knitting and crochet instruction class meets
each Thursday 2 – 4 p.m. in the Shamburger Community Room. Students of all ages
