North Channel Library is TAKING PART IN “Texas Library Snapshot Day”
The North Channel Public Library is joining libraries across the state in participating in “Texas Library Snapshot Day” on Tuesday, May 4th, to show how important libraries are to the state of Texas. Library volunteers and staff will invite your comments, compile statistics, take photographs, and gather other data that will describe a typical day at our library.  The results collected will be added to those of other libraries across Texas to show how libraries provide invaluable services to Texans. We invite you to help us showcase the great learning opportunities, return on educational investment, and value of libraries.
