It’s no secret that we’re big book lovers in my family. One of our favorite ways to find new books is to visit our local library. Did you know the Coastal Bend has over 20 different libraries, each of which provide services for babies, kids, teens and adults? How lucky are we?!

The first Saturday of February is “bring your child to the library day” and many of the Coastal Bend libraries are having special events on February 4 to celebrate. Stop by your local library, get your child (and yourself!) a library card, and enjoy the magic that is reading a good book.

 

For the teens, the American Bank Center will host the 8th annual Teen Bookfest by the Bay. This event supports, promotes and celebrates the joy of reading for the tweens and teens in the Coastal Bay. This is a FREE book festival that is funded by grants and donations, and is hosted by Coastal Bend librarians and educators.
