March is National Quilt Month and the quilts are on display! Stop in to see the beautiful works by local quilt makers. The library is full of colorful and magnificent quilts for the whole month.
March 2nd of each year is celebrated for being Dr. Seuss’ Birthday and Read Across America. This year, thanks to a kind donation from the Smith County Drug and Alcohol Council, we were able to purchase books to give to the K-3rd of Thunder Ridge Elementary. We will also say Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss with a special treat for the kids this Friday.
