7 TEEN 17

What? A library program on Sunday?  7TEEN17 is not concerned with the day of the week, only with the 7th and 17th of each month.  When one of those dates falls on a Sunday, then we meet on Sunday.

Since the library is closed on Sunday, December 7th to all but teens, you need to enter the library through the meeting room door on the north side of the building.

Feel free to call Heather for more information: 580-581-3450 ext 5.

Things We Read

If you missed the Friends of the Library's Fall meeting, then you missed hearing Chris Molaro's presentation on Things We Read. The Friends voted to donate $1000 to Things We Read. The library is working with Chris, co-founder of Things We Read, to get posters in public libraries. We want everyone to know about this nationwide organization that was started right here at Ft. Sill.
