When the Ferris Public Library moves into our new building we will be asking all
patrons to show their library cards before items may be checked out and before
computer use.
We have not enforced this practice in the past so during the month of October
the library will be offering free replacement cards to our patrons.
To be eligible to receive a free replacement card your account must be clear of
all past due fines and no overdue books and/or movies.
After Oct. 31, 2011 replacement cards may be purchased for the usual $3 per card
as per library policy.
Story Time is held every Wednesday at 10 a.m.
Students must attend a Registration & Orientation Workshop before enrollment in
free GED classes.
The next workshops will be held on Saturday, Oct. 8, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., at the
Navarro College Waxahachie Campus, Building C, Room 155 and on Saturday, Oct.
15, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., at their Corsicana Campus location in the Bain Center.
For more information about ESL classes, or to request a youth packet, contact
