Our Library's Best Friends

Have you enjoyed a program or the services at the library?  Thank the Friends of the Library!  Or better yet, join the Friends of the Library!  So much of what we are able to do here is because of the effort of the Friends of the Bear Creek Library.  Do you use our library, but you’re not sure what programs the Friends benefit?  Click the video to see a small sample of the things we are able to do, thanks to our Friends!

Volunteering for the Summer Reading Program

Schools almost out, the weather is getting warmer (kind of) and the librarians are busy planning.  You know what that means... It's almost time for the Summer Reading Program.  This summer, as always, there are many opportunities to volunteer.  In addition to the shelving and other year round volunteer jobs, we need help with programs.  If you are interested give us a call at 281-550-0885 and ask for any of the librarians.  

Mother, Dearest Mother!

M is for Mother, most Marvelous mother to me
O is for the One and Only good thing that ever happened to me
T is for the Tender love she’s given me since birth
H is for the Heaven that all mothers represent on earth
E is for an Exceptional lady, who else can that be
R is for the Reassuring comfort only mama can bring to me

I was taught this song in my elementary school and I have never forgotten it ever since even though I no longer have a clue that who wrote or sang this song but the words will never cease to warm my heart.

Mysterious Knitter at the Library...

The Library got Yarn Bombed!  This week we have been finding these cuddly yarn creatures all over the library.  Each was left with a note saying, "Smile you've just found a Random Act of Yarnie Kindness.  My name is _______ and I was left here to brighten someone's day.  Please take me home and enjoy me."  So from all of us here at Bear Creek to our mysterious knitter, thank you.

It's Good to be Green

Do you know that every year April 22nd is observed as Earth Day? We all love our beautiful planet Earth, don’t we? Yes, yes, yes!!!  When we love something this much, we must also make an effort to preserve it and keep it safe. Every little action and every tiny step counts. There are tons of little things we can do to save the Earth. How about turn off the light of a room when we are done with it? Or may be turning the tap off while we are brushing our teeth? Let’s each contribute and make our planet a better place.
And to start with it, join us for Preschool Story time @10:30 AM to read books about Recycling and make a craft with recyclable articles.
We have quite a good collection of books on the relevant topics:
