Texas
Summer Reading Program Kick-Off Party
June 6, 2-4 PM, Expo Hall

Enrollment for the program will take place at the kick-off party as well as at the Sammy Brown Library during the summer.  There will be a drawing during the party for three $50.00  Wal-Mart gift cards. The children will need a library card to participate in the program.  Parents can get the children a card at the library or they will be available at the kick-off party. Parents or guardians will need to work, attend school, own property, or live  in Panola County.  A photo ID and proof of address is required when applying for a library card.

The purpose of the Texas Reading Club is to encourage children to continue reading during the summer. It is a self-paced program that asks children to read in 15-minute increments and record their time. This program is for children ages 3-12. Children will receive a Certificate and a bookmark when they sign up for the reading club. Come to the library and join today!

Library Cards
All Panola County residents may obtain a library card. There is no waiting period for a card. Your first card is free, with each additional card costing $2.00. You must have your card present to check out materials or use the computer.

Residents applying for a library card must provide a picture ID and proof of residence in Panola County. Acceptable examples of ID:
driver's license, ID card, utility bill, insurance card, school or work ID, personal check.  Exceptions are offered for the following:
*Students of Panola College
*Panola County landholders with proof of ownership

*Grandparents with grandchildren visiting for the summer

If you do not qualify for a library card, but would still like to access our high-speed internet, a temporary pass may be obtained with proper picture identification. This pass does not allow you to check out materials from the library, and expires one week from the date issued.
