Summer Reading at the Van Zandt County Library has three sessions left.  Be There!  About 100 children and adults have attended each of the first four fun days, and adults may have enjoyed them as much as the kids did.  See Facebook, vanzandtlibrary.org or the foyer of the Library for details on the rest of summer

activities. Trinity Valley Electric Co-op is the principle underwriter of Summer Reading again this year.  Their grant provided funds for programs and many of the prizes that were awarded, including the Grand Prize. The Canton Rotary Club gave the main prize for each individual meeting. The Friends of the Library organized and conducted the entire event.
FREEBIE 3rd FRIDAY will begin on July 17.  This is a noontime event once a month sponsored by

“Educate Van Zandt” in cooperation with the Library.  Bring a sack lunch and spend an hour munching and learning.  Some topics may be an attorney discussing wills and trusts or learning to knit or crochet.  The first program will be ‘Interview Skills and Resume Building’, presented by Dr. Jennifer Jones.  No reservation is required.

Rumor has it that Storytime will sponsor a Stuffed-Animal Sleepover July 30. Ask about it at Storytime on Tuesday or at the desk.

It is time to elect new Van Zandt County Library Advisory Board members.  If you have a good candidate, suggest to your Commissioner to propose him or her.  The Advisory Board suggests and implements Library Policy, assists in hiring, and generally assists Library Staff.  They meet once a month, and as the name indicates, advises the Court and the Staff on Library business.

The Friends of the Library is open to all who are interested in good Library Service.  They receive memorials, request and administer Grants, actively assist in things that go on, and generally are available to assist the Staff.

Recent memorials were for Beth Whitaker from Julie Garrett and Robert and Wanda Westmoreland; for Joni Jewel Harrington King from Tim and Carolyn James and for David Tunnell from Ann Spruiell.
