National
Voter Registration Day is this country’s largest single-day non-partisan voter
registration drive, and it happens Tuesday, September 29, 2023. The Quitman
Public Library is participating in the month-long “Register in September – Vote
in November” campaign, and volunteers will be available to assist. Forms are
available at the front desk.
September
is National Library Card Sign-up Month, so stop in and apply for the smartest
card around! Library cards are available for those providing proof of residence
in Wood County and photo identification.
A guardian must sign for children ages 5 - 17.
The Pilot Club of Quitman has partnered with
Dolly’s Imagination Library, a program which makes it possible for every child
from birth to age five to receive one free, age-appropriate book by mail each
month. You may enroll your children at no cost if you reside in the following
zip codes 75783, 75410, and 75497. Stop by the Quitman Public Library’s front
desk to sign up today and have your picture made with the cardboard Dolly cutout!
There is always something to do at the library! Friends of the Library
invites the public to join this volunteer group of library supporters at
monthly meetings on second Thursdays at noon. Photographers of all levels are
invited to the In-Focus Photography Club of East Texas that meets monthly on
last Mondays at the library beginning at 5:30 p.m. Free knitting and crochet
instruction class meets each Thursday 2 – 4 p.m. Students of all ages and skill
levels may bring their own supplies and patterns to trade. Also, Wood County Metal Detector Club, led by Jerry
Tinney, meets on first Mondays at 6:30 p.m. in the library’s Shamburger
Community Room. Whyte Dove Writers’ Club meets monthly on second Tuesdays from
6 – 8:30 p.m. at the library. Consider joining this distinctive group of local
