The latest at the Bandera Library
By Mauri Guillén Fagan
Bandera Library Director
It is finally 2021 and the new year is full of promise. The Bandera Library is pleased to announce a new program for kids this year. Beginning Jan. 19, at 10:30 a.m., the library will host a monthly craft making party. We will still require masks and limit the number of participants so that the kids can meet up, have fun and stay safe. January’s craft will be paper snowflakes and each of the participants will take home a small treat. Register for the snowflake making party via engaged patrons on our website or call the library. Keep an eye on the library’s Facebook page or on the calendar for the future craft making parties. If your child can’t make the 19th, don’t worry. The library will have a number of take-home kits with supplies, instructions and treat to do on their own. We hope you can join us!
Thursday, Jan. 7, at 10 a.m., the Monthly Book Club will meet via zoom to discuss Love is Wild Assault by Elithe Hamilton Kirkland. The novel is based on the real life Harriet Potter Ames. Harriet was born in 1810 in New Orleans and life circumstances brought her to Texas in 1836 just as the Texas Revolution began ramping up. Abandoned with two small children by her husband, Harriet’s grit and strength get them through it all. While this is a fictionalized account, the author conducted meticulous research to complete. A must read!
Saturday, Jan. 9, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Friends of the Library will host their monthly book fair. Carts will indoors and out (weather permitting). All books are by donation and the proceeds go to library.
Fans of Texas historical fiction and Tom Hanks will likely make some time to see Hanks’ movie adaptation of local author Paulette Jiles’ riveting novel News of the World (in theaters now). The library has two copies so if you’d like to read it before you see the movie call us to reserve it.
Brad Taylor has a new thriller starring Pike Logan out this week. Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are busy relaxing in Australian when they receive disturbing news. Their friend, Clifford Delmonty is in serious trouble. While on a job as a private contractor, the former Taskforce member – callsign Dunkin - inadvertently witnessed something he should not have and now is on the run. Pike and Jennifer find out Dunkin has been attacked by men with shadowy link to the Chinese government. The trio discover a scheme aimed at starting an all-out war with Taiwan and must do everything they can to prevent it.
The Bandera Library is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays ,9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Curbside service is still available for checkouts and business services. Check out our website www.banderacountylibrary.org for up-to-date information.
Happy tales, y’all.
