You have spoken and we have heard. We will be doing another round of diamond painting at the library for craft night on Monday, August 2. Charlotte Sprayberry has generously supplied all the materials needed. If you were at our last diamond painting craft class and have done other diamond paintings, please bring them for us to see. Mom and I will be bringing a few that we’ve done. We have both been working on different but very special diamond paintings. I hope to be finished with mine by the next craft night, but I will bring it finished or unfinished. Needless to say, we both have really enjoyed diamond painting.

The school supply drive is going strong. We have forms at the library for parents or guardians to fill out for their children enrolled in either Spur ISD or Patton Springs ISD. We also have forms for parents that homeschool their children in Dickens county. These forms may be picked up during our normal library hours, which are Monday through Thursday from 12 noon until 5:00 p.m. The forms must be returned to the library by Monday, August 9, so that we can distribute the supplies by Thursday, August 12. If your high school student gets their list from their teachers’ supplies at open house on the 16th, please bring the list to the library and we will do our best to get them filled before school starts on the 18th.
