Wednesday, October 31st, was designated by the Texas Library Association as Library Snapshot Day, a day during which libraries across the state gather data and photographs of a typical day in order to promote Texas libraries. Here at Freeman, there were over 100 people in attendance for story times, computer classes, and English as a Second Language sessions, over 300 reference questions answered, and over 1,200 items checked out! Not too shabby for a random day! Take a look at just a few pictures of the day's activities

There are a lot of people in the Fairbanks area who want to learn to read, write, and speak the English language. If you have a little spare time, you can help them.

If you are interested, please come to a training session for volunteer ESL tutors here at the Fairbanks Library on Friday, September 7, from 1:00-4:00 pm. After the training session, we will try to match tutors with students who can meet on the same schedule. To register, please call the library at (713) 466-4438.
