The 2nd
Friday Acoustical Music Circle is Friday, February 13, 2015, from 6 - 9 p.m. in
the library’s community room. Acoustic
musicians of all ages and musical levels are invited to play, and listeners are
always welcome. Refreshments will be
available. For more information, call 903-952-8305.
There
will be no free Federal Income Tax assistance at the Quitman Public Library,
and this is due to a shortage of AARP volunteers in Wood County. The program is still offered at public
libraries in Smith and Hopkins counties. Also, the IRS Tax Form Outlet Program
has limited our printed tax forms, to Forms 1040 EZ, 1040 A, Publication 17,
and Publication 4604 which guides filers
to the website at www.irs.gov. Useful numbers are 1-800-829-1040 and
1-800-829-3676. Computers are available at the library for patrons to file
online, and Wi-Fi is always available 24/7.
Stop in
and save a forgotten book. Melissa Frosch is weeding through the library’s
collection of over 30,000 books to pull items that have not circulated in the
last few years. She has created a
display near the check-out area called “Forgotten Books” in order to give these
books one last chance before going in the discard box.
Patron
cards are for Wood County residents with photo identification. A guardian must sign for children ages
5-17. Regular hours are Tuesday through
Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
