Let It Rain

Submitted by Deborah Sica on Thu, 02/11/2010 - 6:55pm

Don't let the cold weather get you down? It is the best time to snuggle up with a good book. Tuck youself in and grab a mystery. Light your fireplace and read a romance novel. Gather the family around the living room and share favorite poems. The silver lining of rain and cold is a Harris County Library Card and some really great winter reads.

Stand Up and Be Counted - Census 2010

Submitted by Deborah Sica on Mon, 02/08/2010 - 2:35pm

Did you know the 2010 Census starts mailing forms to all residences in March? The census counts the population of the US and is used to determine how over $400 billion dollars in federal funds are distributed. Several of our county library branches will be information and counting centers for the 2010 Census. It is a quick 10-question form, but the impact is long lasting. Just ask anyone that uses the past US Censuses for family genealogy research.
