Keep in Beat with the Bandera Library
By Mauri Guillén Fagan
Bandera Library Director
There are only a few more days for Early Voting during the Primary. While the Bandera Library is not a polling place, we do have several of the League of Women Voters non-partisan Voter Guides are here along with the Bandera County specific pages. Come by today and pick up your copy.
The library also has tax forms. Form 1040 booklets and instructions are available when you walk in. Do you or someone you know need help getting a job? Texas Workforce Solutions is a non-profit dedicated to connecting people looking for work or need support getting a job and the various resources available in the San Antonio region. Workforce Solutions has installed a kiosk to connect Bandera residents with their many services right here in the library. These include child care services, employer services, job seeker services, veterans services and youth empowerment services. It is available during normal operating hours. Just pick up the phone attached to the kiosk and you will be immediately connected via video conference to a representative. Call the library to get more information.
New titles this week include Lucy Foley’s latest thriller titled “The Paris Apartment.” Young Jess is in a major rut. She is broke, alone and has burned some bridges leaving her job. Desperate for a change of scenery and circumstances, she contacts her half-brother Ben and asks if she can crash at his apartment in Paris for a while. Ben does not sound terribly happy to have her there, but he has agreed, nonetheless. When she arrives, she discovers Ben is not in his apartment. She also finds the stereotypes of Parisians being standoffish has some merit. All of Ben’s neighbors seem to be keeping secrets from her and make no effort to be friendly. The longer she realizes Ben is missing the more evident it becomes that in her search for her next chapter, she must discover what has happened to her family.
The Bandera Library is located at 515 Main Street. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Free Wi-Fi is available 24/7. Masks are recommended while in the building and curbside service is available for checkouts and business services.
Happy tales, y’all.
