FERRIS PUBLIC LIBRARY: More than books (October 24, 2019)

The Ferris Chamber of Commerce held a “Meet & Greet” for the new City Manager, Brooks Williams. Many citizens and city employees attended, and everyone enjoyed meeting Mr. Williams. I, for one, feel that under Brooks’ management, Ferris is heading in the right direction for positive changes. 

We will be hosting another free adult craft class on Saturday, Nov. 9. I’ll give more details about it as we finalize plans next week.

The Ferris Public Library is working with Ferris ISD to offer free E-book usage to their students. This service will be available to the following schools: Ferris Intermediate, Jr. High and High School. You may get an application from the school’s librarian or pick one up here at the library. The completed form will need to be returned to the student’s school. The library is pleased to be able to provide this free resource to our community’s students enrolled at these Ferris ISD campuses.

After-School Game Time for ages 7 through 17, is held every Tuesday, from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. Kids can play Wii and PS4 on the large screens, and for those that like the board games they can play them as well.

Story Time for pre-school children is on each Wednesday, at 11 a.m. Children will be treated to a story, fun activities, and have a snack. Before leaving, your child may choose a prize from the Treasure Chest.
