Spring is most definitely here. We are enjoying some beautiful springtime
weather, the trees and grass are turning green and flowers are blooming
everywhere you look! With the advent of spring people want to start
gardening, landscaping, cleaning up and fixing up. They want to begin
outdoor cooking and entertaining! If you are planning
projects that include any of these, we can help! The
library contains books with how-to’s or suggestions regarding all of these.
Just come into the library and we will help you find what you are
looking for!
relax with a good book!
These beautiful spring days are also a great time to relax outdoors while
reading a good book. We can most definitely help you with
that too. We have new books arriving
almost weekly and our April collection of new books is on display right when
you come in the door! Of course we also have bestsellers,
classics and books that may be new-to-you on our shelves.

Library Opens Reading Room for Mothers
The
Howard County Public Library is pleased to announce the opening of the Anna
Lee Downey Burrel Reading Room for Mother. In January 2022 the Howard
County Public Library received a memorial donation from the Dessa Jane
Burreil family for the purpose of establishin a "Reading Room" in order that
mothers would be able to read quietly to their children. Mrs. Burrell
had raised her children in the Howard County area and wanted to celebrate
the library with the community. A room in the basement of the library
has been renovated for this purpose and contains some comfortable chairs, a
bookshelf and even a changing table. Click
