Euless Public Library
Reading Garden Beckons at Library
Want a peaceful place to sit outside and read?
Try the new Reading Garden at the Euless
Public Library. This recently installed amenity
offers four separate reading areas with trees,
benches, flowers, and hedges and is located on
the east side of the building near the large
sculpture. We think that it is a wonderful
addition to the library. Try it; we think you'll
like it.
"Zarape de Cuentos" - Consuelo Samarripa, Bilingual Storyteller
In honor of September 15 - October 15 being Hispanic Heritage Month, the Euless Public Library is proud to be bringing bilingual storyteller Consuelo Samarripa for a special performance on Saturday, September 29 at 2:00 p.m.
A zarape is a Mexican coat of many colors and cuentos is Spanish for "stories." Seņora Samarripa says that stories are cultivated and woven with the many colors of our world cultures and history and that a story is a gift. Whether you speak English or Spanish or a little of both, you will be entranced by her "Zarape de Cuentos."
This free program is a gift to Euless, especially aimed at elementary aged children, but everyone is invited.

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month
Help the library celebrate Library Card Sign-Up
Month in September. We will have popcorn,
promotional items and other fun activities. A
library card is the smartest card anyone can
have. We have books-the newest bestsellers to
classics--magazines, movies, CDs, audio books,
all available for check out. We also have
computers with Word, Excel, PowerPoint as well
as Internet access and online databases with
information to help with everything from
homework to repairing your car. Most of the
databases are available for use at home. Also,
don't forget your most valuable research
assistant: your librarians. Libraries play an
important role in the education and development
of children. Studies show that children who are
read to in the home and who use the library
perform better in school and are more likely to
continue to use the library as a source of lifetime
learning. Remember, a library card is the most
important school supply of all.
