The Library will have an autograph reception Monday, February 19, from 4 to 6pm for Bob and Doris Bowman, authors of more than 35 books about East Texas. A portion of the book sales will go to the library fund. The Bowman's books cover a variety of subjects, including historic East Texas murders, ghost towns, histories of Lufkin and Angelina County, unusual East Texas people and places, home remedies, good ol' boy expressions, biographies of famous East Texans, places to eat, and East Texas Sunday drives. We hope that everyone will come by and meet the Bowman's and purchase one of their wonderful books.

This week in black history: Black author, Alice Walker, known for her writings that explore social issues of women, was born in Eatonton, GA on February 8, 1944. The daughter of a sharecropper, she wrote such acclaimed novels as "The Color Purple", "Possessing the Secret of Joy", "The Temple of My Familiar", and "By the Light of My Father's Smile".
For the first four weeks of the year the library was without a notary so we just wanted to let you know that our notary is back at work. Her notary renewal license finally arrived last week. Miss Mary is on duty now Monday - Friday 9-12 and 1-5 for your convenience.
