It’s easy to help feed area families this holiday season!  Bring your donation of non-perishable foods to the Maud Marks Branch Library this Friday, December 9 from 6 am to 6pm.  We’re one of the collection sites for Channel 13’s Share Your Holidays food drive, and your donations benefit Katy families.  Taylor High School’s Jazz Band will be playing around 9:30 am so even though we don't open until 1pm you can stop by and hear some great music!

If you can’t make it Friday we have a donation box in the library and you can drop off items anytime we’re open this week.  Thanks for sharing your holidays!
