July is National Anti-boredom Month, and the
library offers plenty of summer reads and movies to keep you entertained. A new
shipment of Large Print books has arrived, and these books are ready to be
checked out. Visit the Summer Reads display near the front desk. Also, thanks
to a generous donation from the Friends of the Quitman Public Library, we have
added to our collection of graphic novels. Graphic novels are stories written
and illustrated in the style of a comic combining illustrations with text presented
in a series of rectangular panels. The stories are fun to read for all ages.
In the lobby showcase
is a display celebrating HM The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebration on
loan from Rebekah Yeager. Among the interesting items is a hand-knitted Queen
doll.
Knitting and crochet
instruction class meets each Thursday 2 – 4 p.m. in the library’s main lobby.
Students of all ages and skill levels may bring their own supplies and join the
group for free instruction. Come learn something new!
Photographers of all
levels are invited to the “In-Focus Photography Club of East Texas” that now
