FERRIS PUBLIC LIBRARY: More than books (November 14, 2019)

We had an excellent turnout for the adult craft class last Saturday. The candy canes and wreaths looked fantastic. We have some very talented people in our community! Thank you to everyone who participated and to Aurora Ramirez for doing a great job in demonstrating several crafting techniques.

During last Tuesday’s Ellis County Election, 306 ballots were cast. The Election Judge, Cheree Barrett, and all the workers did an outstanding job explaining how the new voting machines worked, and the day went flawlessly.

The Ferris Public Library has a cute Thanksgiving mask that your child can color, and we’ll take their picture to display on our digital picture frame. There is a limited supply so visit us soon.

The Ferris Public Library is working with Ferris ISD to offer free E-book usage to their students. This service will be available to the following schools: Ferris Intermediate, Jr. High and High School. You may get an application from the school’s librarian or pick one up here at the library. The completed form must be returned to the student’s school. The library is pleased to be able to provide this free resource to our community’s students enrolled at these Ferris ISD campuses.

After-School Game Time for ages 7 through 17, is held every Tuesday, from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. Kids can play Wii and PS4 on the large screens, and for those that like the board games they can play them as well.

Story Time for pre-school children is on each Wednesday, at 11 a.m. Children will be treated to a story, fun activities, and have a snack. Before leaving, your child may choose a prize from the Treasure Chest.
