Summer Reading begins in two weeks with an exciting international theme. Our Round Wall will feature books from every continent on this planet and from other worlds as well. The Children's and Young Adult departments will have a roster of fun and interesting programs; and they will not be alone. The Adult Department is working on a number of interesting programs to help and entertain you over the summer.

E*Book*Aid will be available in the front lobby every Monday afternoon from 2-4. A team of volunteer tech wizards will give you personal help with using your digital device to read and listen to electronic books.

Who’s Number One

Submitted by Gwendolyn M on Mon, 11/12/2012 - 6:29pm

 Could it be you or is it John Grisham? “Number One” seems to be the magic number for all great happenings. Did you realize this goes on, even in the wonderful world of books?  According to New York Times, the number one best seller in Print and E-book is “The Racketeer” by author John Grisham. If you haven’t read it you can get it through our catalog. If it is not available now you can place it on hold and have it sent here. When it is ready you will be notified to come and pick it up here or at any of our other libraries you may have chosen.  Good Reading!

Many Adult Activities at the Library

Wow!  I was just looking at the calendar and we sure have a lot going on at Maud Marks over the next week!

Do you want to help out in the community?  On Saturday we have an English as a Second Language tutor training session starting at 9 AM.  In just 4 hours, we'll prepare you to teach adults from various countries English.  You don't even have to speak another language to help out; in fact, we prefer that you don't!  All we ask of you is a commitment of 1 1/2 hours per week through May.  Just think how rewarding it will be to help someone acclimate to life here in the Katy area!
