Did you realize January is "National Walk Your Dog Month?" Have some fun while taking your pooch for a walk! If you are out on the Old No. 9 Trail, or other spots in Boerne, take a selfie with your four-legged bestie and send it to us! We'll post the very cute pics on the Library's social media pages. We'll have a drawing at the end of January from among the entries, and the winner will receive a gift basket of goodies from Fetch & Friskers! We'll also feature displays of suggested reading on titles about dogs, so stop in the Library to check it out! Send pooch selfies to: Caren. Patrons of all ages can join in on this fun!

Are you excited about the reboot of the PBS show All Creatures Great and Small? We sure are! We will be hosting a watch party the evening of the premier! Watch with us from the comfort of your home! Register for the watch party here, through this zoom link. The premier is Sunday, January 10th, at 8 pm (Central). Stop by the Library prior to January 10th, and pick up a few packets of Yorkshire Tea to enjoy at home, while you watch the premier! Other ways to gear up for the program: Read the beloved books by James Herriot. If you have Amazon Prime, there is a wonderful program titled The Yorkshire Vet, that is available to watch (TV-PG). It's a reality show set in the same vet practice founded by James Herriot.
