Sizzling Reading available at library
July Greetings from the Howard County Library! Independence Day, and all the
fireworks that accompany it, may be history for 2025, but we have lots of
“sizzling” new arrivals on the shelf! Check out our July book list or come in,
where it is always cool to see what is new!
Visit us during the Fayette Festival of the Arts, Aug. 2
Please
be sure to visit us at the annual Fayette “Festival of the Arts’ on Saturday,
August 2, on the courthouse lawn. The Library will have a table, and we will
have bookmarks, crafts, and fun. Whether you are a familiar face to us or you
are new to the library, be sure to stop by and say hello! Need recipes? Help with Garden?
We will have the latest best
sellers along with the most recent publications by your favorite authors! When
the temperatures begin to climb, it is a perfect time to visit us, cool off and
check out a book! There is still plenty of summer left for outdoor entertaining
and cooking, along with gardening and preserving, so if you need any books to
give you ideas, we can help you out!
Don't forget Toddler Time
Our
regular programs continue as usual with our Toddler Time on Thursdays at 10.
Bring your little ones in for great stories, games, and puzzles! Our
children's area on the lower level is always open and we love to have children
come and visit anytime!

Do you want to support the library? Join Friends of the Library
Some of you have indicated that you would like to do more to support
our library. A great way to do that is to join “Friends of the Library!”
This is an organization open to anyone who is interested in the ongoing
success of the library. An individual membership to join friends is $10
annually, while a family membership is $20. We also offer lifetime
memberships for $200. The purpose of Friends is to provide annual funding
for the library collection, underwrite programs, such as The Summer Reading
Program, Special Holiday events and visiting author programs and to support
the purchase of various items that cannot be fulfilled from the library’s
operational budget. We would love to have new members!
