FERRIS PUBLIC LIBRARY: More than books (January 27, 2022)

December was a fun time here at the Ferris Public Library. We gave out almost a hundred Christmas Grab & Go Craft Bags. The children liked the goodies, and we enjoyed playing a small part of your family's holiday.

We had a positive outcome during our annual inventory. Only four items were reported as “unseen” with the library’s cost of $37.58. We haven’t marked them as lost yet because, just like at your house, you never know where a book will turn up.

The Ferris Historical Society’s Museum has a new home at the Ferris ISD Administration Building, 301 E. 5th Street. We tried to accommodate the museum here at the library but sadly didn’t have adequate space for all the exhibits. I haven’t visited yet, but people tell me it’s a great match, providing sufficient room for all the items pertaining to Ferris’ history collected over the years.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and Stacey has made a cute display with all of our Valentine books ready for you to check-out and enjoy.
