The Latest at the Bandera Library
By Mauri Guillén Fagan
Bandera Library Director
As I am writing this article, the very welcome sounds of little ones singing and dancing around are filling the library. We are happy to share that our weekly Story Time has returned on Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. Miss Pattie leads pre-school kids in songs, dance, real-aloud time and a fun craft. All are welcome!
We are entering week four of the Summer Reading Program. Even if your kiddos missed the first couple of weeks, they can still participate. Call the library to sign up. Kids ages 4 to 12 can come by for reading, games, crafts and more. This week’s program is Tuesday, July 13, from 10 - 11:30 a.m. at the library.
Wednesday, July 14, from 4 - 5 p.m. is the kickoff of a brand new program at the library. Learn to Knit! is a weekly class to learn the basics of knitting including how to knit, instruction on using a variety of knitting notions, how to select yarn and how to read patterns. If you are an intermediate or advanced knitter you are more than welcome to join the group. Come with a project and stay for some coffee and conversation. Space and supplies are limited for those learning. Sign up on the Library’s website or you can call to reserve a spot. Donations for supplies are welcome.
Are you looking for help dealing with your finances? The Library has recently partnered with Banzai Financial Education which provides online education for children, teens and adults in all stages of life. Go to https://banderacountylibrary.teachbanzai.com and scroll through the large variety of topics such as managing a crisis, saving for a vacation, teaching children about money and taxes. Did your teen get a summer job? Now would be a great time to have them take the creating a budget or opening a checking account courses. You can take a free online course at your own pace. Happy learning!
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. Free Wi-Fi is available 24/7. Check out our website www.banderacountylibrary.org for all up-to-date information.
Happy tales, y’all.
