The Pulpwood Queen Book Club also meets Thursday at 6 p.m. This month’s book is The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. Bring a snack.

Once Upon a Time, a winter writers’ workshop takes place Saturday, January 22, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Everyone is welcome and registration is open. The fee is $35 for adults and $10 for students with ID. Dr. Lavert and our own Jared Chapman will be the speakers. The workshop is for anyone interested in writing children’s books. You’ll enjoy the day and come away with great information and ideas. For more information contact J McDermott at mcdermottjjj@gmail.com

The Texas Library Association chooses 25 books each year to be read for pure enjoyment. I’m happy to say we have most of the 2022 Lariat List in the library.

  • Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert
  • The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams
