Don’t miss our free “Kick the Sugar Cravings” class on Thursday, Feb. 15 from 1 - 2 p.m. presented by Denise Nix INHC, CFNC and sponsored by Natural Grocers in Tyler. Denise graduated from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN) with a Health Coach Certification and is also a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor through the Functional Nutrition Alliance.

February is Black History Month, and the library is highlighting this with a selection of books in the children’s section as well in the display near the front check-out area. Visit the library’s online catalog at http://quitman.biblionix.com/catalog to see our collection of the latest books, audiobooks, and DVDs. Patrons may also connect to our library’s vast collection of eBooks, audio books and streaming videos by downloading the Libby® and SimplyE® apps.
