FERRIS PUBLIC LIBRARY: More than Books (January 23, 2025)

Join the Ferris Public Library on Thursday, Feb. 6, to celebrate National Take Your Child to the Library Day!

Libraries nationwide participate in this special day by offering exciting and free activities for families to enjoy together. Children 16 and younger who come in this day can sign up for a free library card, regardless of their address. A parent or guardian must be present and have a valid ID or driver’s license. Stop in for a visit, enjoy the activities, get a library card (they’re free for the kids!), meet your librarians, and explore all the wonders that we have to offer your family.

Be sure to stop in again soon – because every day is a great day to take your child to the library.

STORY TIME is hosted every Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. Children are treated to stories, fun activities, and a snack. Before leaving, your child may choose a prize from the treasure chest to take home.

AFTER-SCHOOL GAME TIME is held each Thursday from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Children can play the PS5 on the large screen in the meeting room and board games are also available.

NEW BOOKS: “Golden Hour” by Stuart Woods, “Bellevue” by Robin Cook, “Catfish Charlie” by William M. Johnstone, “Trial by Fire” by Danielle Steel, “Summer’s Lease” by John Nesbitt, and “The Man from Waco” by William M. Johnstone. 

BOOK BLURB: “Golden Hour” by Stuart Woods, released December 2024. Former CIA operative Teddy Fay returns for another heart-pounding Hollywood-fueled adventure in this latest installment in the New York Times bestselling series. Teddy Fay is ready to embark on the European press tour of Peter Barrington’s latest film “Storm’s Eye” when he receives an unexpected visit from Lance Cabot, director of the CIA. Several CIA agents have been turning up dead. The commonality? They were all part of a mission Teddy was involved in: Golden Hour. Lance wants Teddy to use his trip as a cover to investigate who is behind these killings.

The library is located at 301 E. 10th St., across from Mutz Ballpark. Library staff may be reached at ferrislibrary@ferristexas.gov or (972) 544-2110, Option 9.
