 Origami, the ancient art of paper folding comes alive in the lobby of our library all month long!  Please stop by the front bookcase display area and enjoy the beautiful origami birds created by staff members and the original artwork hand-painted by Laura from our Circulation Department!  For your own hands on origami experience, there is a walk up station to the right of the display complete with everything you need to create your own!  Have fun folding! 

Yes, We Really Were at Your Child’s School! [23]

Submitted by Ann P [18] on Wed, 05/08/2013 - 1:32pm

Starting today and over the next few weeks, your Tomball children’s staff will be visiting elementary schools in TISD to promote the upcoming Summer Reading Program: Have Book – Will Travel!  The program runs from June 3rd – August 10th.  When your child arrives home and barely able to catch their breath as they shout out “the lady from the library was at my school and it was so cool”, they are right!  For staff members like myself, it is always a wonderful experience to go into the schools, meet with the kids, share information about the library and programming [24], read a story and just have fun!  There’s been no “tall tale” concocted when they say we were there, because, “yes”, we really were at your child' s school!
