September is National Library Card Sign-up Month

September 10, 2026 - September is National Library Card Sign-up Month. Since 1987, the American Library Association has used this month to remind the public how important libraries are. For families, students, and communities, having a library card is the single most valuable free resource in this country.

The community library is a free, relaxing, safe space where you can rest, read, research, and renew your mind. You don’t have to buy anything. There is no yearly membership fee.  It is one of the last places you can just be you, free of charge.

Fannie Brown Booth Memorial Library Staff Thanks ETCF

August 27, 2026 - The Fannie Brown Booth Memorial Library is very thankful to the East Texas Communities Foundation for their generous and continued support from the John Reagan Harris Foundation Fund.

This allows us to improve library services such as public Wi-Fi, children's books, Wi-Fi hotspots and other library services. By providing this funding, the library can continue to serve the needs of the community.

Fannie Brown Booth Memorial Library Summer Programs Come to Close

The Summer Reading programs at the Fannie Brown Booth Library have come to a close. The library wishes to extend a huge "Thank You!" to all the parents who encouraged their child to participate in these programs.

Informative programs on dinosaurs, paleontology, fossils, animals, magic, and American history were enjoyed by a large group of children. The theme for the Summer Reading programs was "Unearth a Story", and we also included a program to celebrate America's 250th birthday.
