Our Star Party Is Slated For February 19th!

"When you wish upon a star..."

We're having a star party & you're invited! Come on out to the Library on Tuesday, February 19th as we turn our eyes to the sky. It's the night of a New Moon and, with the help of LeTourneau University students and Physics Professor Dr. Steve Ball, we'll be able to view through several different telescopes! We should also be able to see the Moon, Jupiter and its moons, as well as the Pleiades, a star cluster- weather permitting, of course!

We'll be outside, starting about 7:00 PM, so please dress appropriately for the temperatures outside. This event will be fun for the whole family and hopefully the weather will cooperate!  :) 

City offices and the Longview Public Library will be closed on Monday, January 21, in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday. Sanitation will pick up trash on Monday. Longview Transit will operate as normal.

Got fines? Still holding on to that movie you checked out months ago? Why not make things right in 2013?

During the week of January 14 - 18, bring in your overdue movies and books and we'll save you some money- no questions asked! If your account is not in collections, we'll waive all of the fines and fees associated with the item(s). If you account is in collections, we can still waive the replacement cost of the item, which is usually a good portion of the debt owed. 

Reminder: Not returning Library materials is theft of property and affects everyone!

Items that have been severely damaged are not eligible for waived fines as we still need to replace them.
