City of Everman Library

Greetings from the Everman Public Library. We hope you are enjoying the weather change and the beginning of the Holiday season.  I would like to take this opportunity to tell you some good news about the library.

First of all, we have a new fax number. In the past, our telephone number was used for both the fax and the phone line, now we have a new exclusive fax number at your service.  The new fax number is (817) 551-1999.  Our telephone number will still be the same, (817) 551-0726.

We would like to invite our patrons to be a “guest book reviewer”.  If you want to tell us about a book that you have read recently, just type it, bring it to us and we will post it on the library's page on the City’s web site.  All the reviews submitted will be considered for posting if they are approved.

Lastly, we want all the chess players out there to come and sign up for our chess tournament.  As soon as we have a good number of players signed up, we will be able to post a schedule for all the matches. For more information, please send us an email to evermanpubliclibrary@yahoo.com

Until next time, read to succeed.

Obed Rodriguez, Librarian

Are you looking for something new to read? We want you to know that 30 books are being added every week to our collection! One of these if best selling author Stephanie Meyers' book set Twilight, The Host, Eclipse and New Moon.

We have a "Wish List". If you have any suggestions for books you think we should have, come to the Library and add them to our wish list. Sometimes wishes come true!

We have a new email address: evermanpubliclibrary@yahoo.com. If you need to renew your books, please include the name of the book, the date it was due and your name. The book will be renewed for two more weeks from the date we receive your email. If you have any questions or if there is any other way we can serve you, just send us an email.

We have a new staff member: Frank Olivas is a senior at Everman High.

We would like to invite everyone to stop by the library and see all  the good things that are happening in our community.  The Friends of the Library has also made it possible for us to get one more computer in addition to the five that we have for the use of all patrons. We are also planning on starting a number of new programs, such as the Art Gallery, for all the hidden artists in our community to display their works. A chess club with tournaments and maybe even a poetry reading night are also being planned.  We hope many people from the community can be involved.

Please remember that the Library belongs to all of us and for the same reason we must take good care of it. Reading is one of the most important tools for success.

Library Information

If any of you have DVD's or video movies that you do not want, the library would be happy to take them off your hands! We will also supply you with a donation receipt if you desire. We also need any book, video, DVD or tape in Spanish if you would like to help us out in the development of our Spanish language collection.

The library staff wishes to extend our most heartfelt thanks to those of you who have so generously given us the gift of your time and assistance while we are in the midst of this work. We have about 28,000 more books to scan, so if you want to help, we'll have some left especially for you!

Please note - Bike racks are at the northwest end of the library parking lot (remember to NOT park your car there).

Last but not least, we want to acknowledge all of our generous patrons who have given us books, videos, DVD's, and other materials, but we don't have room here for all the names. We are VERY grateful to you!
