LIBRARY NOTES

Courtesy of the Writers’ League of Texas and the Tocker Foundation we are honored to host the Texas Writes Program at the Dickens County Spur Public Library. There will be two programs, “Writers of the Purple Sage: Adding Western Elements to your Work” with Tex Thompson, and “The Path to Publication” with Becka Oliver. To pre-register for the event, call the library at (806) 271-3714. Walk-ins will be accepted if room is available. The event will take place at the library on Saturday May 14, 2022 at 10 a.m. and should last a couple of hours. The event is free and open to the public and refreshments will be provided. If you are an aspiring author or just curious about the process please join us.

We have added quite a few DVDs to our book sale room for a donation of $1 each or $6 for five. These are only for titles no longer available to check out. We have also added many new books to the back room where the Friends of the Library have the books for sell. There are many by popular bestselling authors. We have many by James Patterson, John Grisham, Patricia Cornwell, and Catherine Coulter, just to name a few.
