February is both Black History Month & Library Lovers Month, and we are offering a wide range of activities and resources to celebrate both!
The library has a special collection of books by and about African American authors, civil rights leaders, and Black historical figures that will be showcased all month long. Stop by anytime this month and take part in our scavenger hunt highlighting influential figures in Black History.
Library Lovers Month is celebrated throughout the month of February and is an opportunity to honor the vital role libraries play in communities. It’s a time to celebrate the joy of reading and discovering all that libraries offer. If you don’t have a library card, it’s never too late, visit us to get one! Follow us on Facebook to stay up to date on all the fun and exciting things we have planned at the library this February!
STORY TIME is hosted every Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. Children are treated to stories, fun activities, and a snack. This is a wonderful way to build routines, make new friends, and create special memories. Before leaving, your child may choose a prize from the Treasure Chest to take home.
NEW BOOKS: “The Surrogate Mother” by Freida McFadden, “The Portrait” by Danielle Steel, “We Are All Guilty Here” by Karin Slaughter, “Wild Eyes” by Elsie Silver, “Nash Falls” by David Baldacci, “Snow Kissed” by RaeAnne Thayne, and “The Idaho Four: An American Tragedy” (Dewey 364) by James Patterson.
BOOK BLURB: “The Surrogate Mother” by Freida McFadden
Abby wants a baby more than anything. But after years of failed infertility treatments and adoptions that have fallen through, it seems like motherhood is not in her future. That is, until her personal assistant Monica makes a generous offer to serve as a surrogate. It’s an offer that will make all of Abby’s dreams come true.
But soon, strange things start happening. And it turns out Monica isn’t who she says she is. The woman now carrying Abby’s child has an unspeakable secret.
And she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
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.
