----- From the County Librarian  -----
November Greetings to our Library Users --
we are thankful for your patronage!  


Coffee is now available for purchase for $1.50 per cup and the proceeds go to the Friends of the Library; we have Green Mountain, Celestial tea varieties, and hot cocoa. As the weather gets colder, you will want to grab a cup and know that you are supporting your library! Check it out near Big Bird and our glass display.
   


A big thank you goes out to..
.

The Watauga Library Endowment for funding children's books, a laptop charging cart, a ceiling mounted projector for our meeting room and children's furniture!

 

The Friends of the Watauga County Public Library for grant funding from...  

  • BSG Events Inc.for non-fiction children's books to be utilized in Kindergarten classrooms during the school year in the Appalachian Regional Library's service areas, Watauga, Wilkes and Ashe counties; in the summer the books will go to the public libraries in the three counties, beefing up collections during the time when libraries have summer reading programs.
  • Church of the Holy Cross / Valle Country Fair for children's books for our Reading & Rolling program.
