Well, That Won't Work

Ever thought of some invention that couldn't possibly work? Perhaps you've got an entry in The Museum of Unworkable Devices. I especially enjoy the gallery of 3-D images.

Enjoy!

The Islamic holiday Ramadan began September 13 and continues through October 11. A month of fasting and prayer, Ramadan is celebrated annually.

¡Bienvenidos a la mes de Hispanic Heritage!

September 15 kicked off National Hispanic Heritage Month. An estimated 44 million people in United States identify themselves as Hispanic, including these famous people. About 8 million Hispanics live in Texas.

The library has lots of books featuring Hispanic characters or based on Hispanic folktales. And if you want to read award-winning books by Hispanic authors and illustrators, we have those, too!

¡Adios!

Arrr! It Be a Pirate's Day

Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. So, it's a good day to study your pirate lingo and learn your pirate name (mine? Captain Mary Bonney). You could even listen to some pirate music to get yourself in the spirit.



Arrr! What are ye waitin' fer?
