El Paso Public Library

It’s here!  Patrons can now take home an ‘available’ book as part of our “Blind Date With a Book” program!

Come in and choose  a book from those seeking a date.  We have a section for Young Adults and one for Older Adults. 

It’s very easy!  Choose a book, (get a small prize) , take it home and read it!  Fill out the critique and turn it in for and a drawing ticket.

Come “Check it Out!”

 Look who was featured in the February 2015 edition of Reporter magazine put out by ILA!

Be on the lookout for books you can take out on a blind date!  During the month of February we will have books that have taken out a personal add to try to get a date.  Titles will not be visible, but you will have a little something to decide if this book might be a match for you!  After your ‘date’ you can rate how it went!  Maybe the book wasn’t a match for you, but your critique might let someone find a book they love!  Get into the spirit of Valentine’s Day with this fun activity!

The library has even more books waiting for your kids online!  Just  click on the Tumble Books tab under the picture of the library at the top of the page.  You will be taken to a menu where you can choose picture books, chapter books, games and puzzles that go with books, and even books in other languages! Why don’t you go “check it out” today!

Join us at the library from 6:00-9:00 January 16 for a fun puzzle party!  We will have a mystery puzzle and a wintery puzzle out to work on.  Each puzzle will be 1000 pieces, so there will be plenty for all to do! Refreshments will be available to all.  Bring family and friends to enjoy an evening of ‘grown-up’ fun!

The library will host Jim Gibbons as he presents “The Eerie Similarities between John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln”  February 17 @ 6:30 in the Community Room.  Refreshments will be provided.

Come ready to learn and ask questions!
