Every year I have to submit an annual report to the Texas Public Library System which enables us to be eligible for a variety of funding opportunities, database programs and many other opportunities available through the state. As I was compiling this information for them I thought it might be interesting to pass along some of our statistics. Our library is part of the Harrington Consortium which serves libraries in the Panhandle. If you have a library card from Vega you should be able to use it at other libraries in the Panhandle including Amarillo. A Cloud Library program is available for patrons to check out books online. There are over 119,000 books available on this website. I can help you download the APP and set up an account if you would like to take advantage of this.
This past year we recorded 2,488 visits to our library. This was counting local patrons, field trips from our school, kids who come to our summer reading program held in July, our monthly book club meeting and Christmas on the Square.We also participate in the Trick or Trunk event held on the square before Halloween. We have activities and goodies to hand out during many of these events. Visitors will drop in on their way down Rt. 66 to take a break or ask for information. People come in to check out books, use our computers and printers and sometimes just to browse and enjoy our unique building, which by the way is almost 100 years old.
Last year we checked out 875 books to children and 525 to adults. I think we have a pretty good selection of all kinds of reading material for all ages. I am always ordering new books and taking out old and damaged ones so our collection stays fairly up to date. If there is a particular book you want and we don't have, I will order it for you!
Have a great week, enjoy the warmer, hopefully calmer, weather and drop in. We'd love to see you.

I don’t know who has these checked out from the library. I guess we put the wrong number on the cards. If you have them ...

❄️🎄 Christmas on the Square Update! 🎄❄️
Hey Oldham County! ❤️
With the extremely cold weather rolling in, we’ve made the tough decision to reschedule Christmas on the Square. Your safety, and the safety of our vendors, and volunteers—comes first.

🎄 We’ll now be celebrating on December 6th.
Bundle up when the time comes and get ready for a magical day together. Thank you for sticking with us!

We appreciate your understanding as we work to make sure our event is safe, warm, and wonderful for all.

Cold weather has definitely set in! I will surely miss the beautiful, mild days of fall. I was really hoping the weather would hold for our Christmas on the Square last weekend, but I guess Mother Nature had other plans. I'm sure you've heard it's been rescheduled for this next Saturday, December 6th from 12-4:00 p.m. It's a really busy weekend, but maybe you can squeeze in a few minutes to come down and enjoy all the events the Chamber has been working so hard to organize. There will be some really fun activities, including writing a letter to Santa here at the library. I have a mailbox and everything necessary to make sure your letter will get there on time. I think the FBC is going to be set up at the library too, so you can decorate an ornament for your tree. The businesses along the square will be open as well as vendors from out of town selling an assortment of goods and food. We are still receiving new books that are guaranteed to meet every reading need. If you can't find a book here, I can help you access the Harrington website to check out audiobooks and online books that can be downloaded onto your phone, I-pad or Kindle. Our book club still meets once a month. Let me know if you would be interested and I can set you up to join our Group Me group for notifications and information. We would love to have you join us! Please stop at any time. We are open 12-6:00 p.m. MWF and Saturday 9-12:00. Hope to see you this weekend at Christmas on the Square!!

Just a reminder...we will be having our annual book sale this weekend during Comancheros. I have a large selection of children's books, hardback novels, paperbacks, Westerns, and a little bit of everything else. While you're out going to garage-sales be sure to stop in and take a look. We will be open Friday morning - 6:00 p.m. and Saturday morning. Thank you to everyone who has donated your used books for this event.
The League of Women Voters of Texas sent a nonpartisan voters guide for the upcoming constitutional amendment election to be held November 4, 2025. If you have questions about this election come by and get information. We also have it in Spanish.
FYI I ordered a book Jackie and Maria by Gill Paul for someone, but can't remember who! I have it here if you'd like to check it out!!
Have a great week!

Fall is in full swing and it's exciting, busy and magical! The change in seasons is always welcome in the Panhandle. We have new books to usher in the season....just right to relax and lose yourself in a good read.
The library will be participating in the Comancheros City wide garage sale with our annual book sale. Please come in and find some great bargains as well as help out the library. We welcome you to browse and buy or just browse and enjoy! I appreciate the donations which make this possible. We get some very interesting and useful books.
Our monthly book club is still meeting, usually the last week of the month. Our pick this month is Murder Takes a Vacation by Laura Lippman. It's a short, easy read...great for busy people! We will meet October the 27th at 5:00 p.m. if you are interested in joining us. If you can't make it to the meeting it's still great to follow along and read our picks. We have quite a few readers who take advantage of this. Also, you can check it out on the Cloud Library App (free) and read on your phone or Kindle. Come in and I can help you set this up! The new English teacher at VHS came in the other day and registered several of his students to take advantage of this App. I thought this was a great idea! They can listen or read anywhere, anytime and make life a little easier....and maybe help with homework!
Have a great week and please come by our book sale!
