QPL Connections by Delene Allen

Thursday, Sept. 24, 2026    ●   Wood County Monitor – Wood County, TX

The Quitman Public Library is participating in the month-long “Register in September – Vote in November” voter registration campaign. Forms are available at the front check-out desk.

September is also National Library Card Sign-up Month, so stop in and see what your library has to offer. Patron cards are available for those residents who can provide proof of residence in Wood County and photo identification.  A guardian must sign for children ages 5 - 17.

Near the checkout area is a display of books arranged by the QPL Staff to highlight the American Library Association’s “Banned Books Month” each September to promote freedom to read.

Tutoring is available each Wednesday at 4 p.m. Whether you are studying for a General Educational Development (GED) certificate, or just brushing up on your math skills, it helps to have a professional tutor who can guide you through the process. Contact Sara de la Rosa at saradelarosa@outlook.com.

The QPL Knitting & Crochet Club meets each Thursday from 2 – 4 p.m. Students of all ages and skill levels may bring their own supplies and enjoy free instruction.

Wood County Metal Detector Club regularly 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 published authors.
