Last Chance Quilt Raffle

The Marlin Public Library is hosting a quilt raffle this summer. There is only a limited amount of tickets and each ticket is $30 dollars. We only have a few more tickets left. So don't wait and come on by and get a ticket while there are some left.

All proceedings will go to the library.

Elle in the Library

We have a very special guess yesterday, by the name of Elle. Her owner and our good library assistant Correne, had a good ol' time. Elle is a four year old Yorkie and was the bell of the ball at our library yesterday. She loves her belly rubbed, and a good book any day.

It was a big surprise and quite fun to have her at the front desk helping out with our patrons. We hope to have her again soon.

In other news, we have received quite a few new books over the last couple of weeks, if you would like to see them just visit our Catalog and click on 'See What's Hot!'

Scholastic Book Fair Begins!!!

We are proud to be hosting after two years another Scholastic Book fair, ranging from age of Pre-K to Young Adult. You are welcome to come by and look at the large selection of books. The book fair will run for two weeks from July 12th - July 24th. Some of the selection will include Skippyjon Jones, Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief, and The Girl Who Could Fly.

We hope to see you there and enjoy not just that but the great book reading we have every Tuesday from 2-3p.m.
