Former Lady Bush is THE BOMB.COM...

...not only because she first taught in Houston or is a certified librarian. Not even because she is a Longhorn. But, because she, as the First Lady of Texas is responsible for the Texas Book Festival and as the Nation's First Lady, the National Book Festival!

Literacy Month

In 2009, President Obama proclaimed October as National Literacy Month. There is a lot going on in our library this month. We celebrate Teen Read Week and Gulf Coast Reads with two field trips to Houston Public Library. For TRW we will visit the Smith Neighborhood Branch for a collaborative lesson and viewing of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. We will also visit the Central Branch of HLP for a celebration, book discussion, and meet the author Jonathan Safran Foer.
