This past week’s story hour was full of Dragonsized fun! The children went on a Dragon Scavenger Hunt through the library. At the end of the hunt the children received a “Dragon Treat” (bookmark & lollipop). Then they listened to dragon stories, followed by a snack of delicious cookies & punch.

- Summer Story Hours
The Schulenburg Boy Scouts Troop 210 made their annual visit to the Schulenburg Public Library this past Saturday, July 12, 2008. Jonathan Sirilo read a camping story and the children later watched a video of the boys attending their summer camp in Oaklahoma. Later they enjoyed the traditional snack of watermelon provided by the scouts on the patio.
The Schulenburg Public Library received a $25,000 community development grant. The grant, provided by LCRA, will be used towards the building of the new library.
The community grant is one of a number of grants recently awarded through LCRA’s Community Development Partnership Program. The program provides economic development and community assistance grants to cities, counties, volunteer fire departments, regional development councils, and other non-profit organizations in LCRA’s electric and water sevice areas as part of LCRA’s effort to give back to the communities it serves. The City of Schulenburg is one of LCRA’s wholesale electric customers and a partner in the grant program.
The Fayette County Republican Women’s organization has purchased and placed four children’s books in the Schulenburg Public Library through the Barbara Bush Literacy Project. Since Barbara Bush founded this project on March 6, 1989, many Republican women’s organizations have placed books in libraries, schools and shelters throughout the United States in support of the Barbara Bush Literary Project. The four books received byt the library are Woodrow the White House Mouse, President Adams’ Alligator and other White House Pets, and Woodrow for President by Peter W. Barnes and Cheryl Shaw Barnes; and Washingtons, D.C. ABCs by Carla Holembe, Cheryl Shaw Barnes and Peter W. Barnes.
