Be on the lookout for summer reading information. The Public Library has an awesome program for readers this summer as well as tons of family events-all free!
Texas 2x2 March Madness!
K-2 classes voted for their favorite book from a state selected list of 20 called Texas 2x2. We used brackets to vote daily. We voted electronically using Padlet and then the results were posted on the library wall. See below for this year's winner!
This Year's winner!

You can look all of these titles up and check them out from the public library!
