Stop by our Pop-Up Book Sale on Saturday, Oct. 24th between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to find great book and DVD buys! The sale will be in the dog park parking lot between the library and Charles Austin Dr.—look for the book sale signs! We will monitor social distancing. Mask requirements will be the same requirements we have in the library. The sale is contingent on the weather, so check our Facebook page for confirmation the sale is going on that day.

Aspiring and seasoned writers are invited to come together in a supportive community. We will share our work and goals, and sit together in communal silence as we work on our various writing projects. There will be an opportunity to share at the end, if you'd like. These recurring sessions are great for everybody - from poets, aspiring novelists, folks with writer's block and a big project, to people who need to write more as they work from home. Everybody is welcome! Presented by Celeste Hollister. Zoom link will be added at a later date.

Come celebrate poetry with an open mic reading of poems at the chapel of the San Marcos Cemetery. Bring a poem you love, or your own poem to share. Recommended themes are love, grief, dying, life, and afterlife. Event will be lead by E.D. Watson, poet and library staff member.
