Great patrons make the library a very busy place!


 
  
There is a lot happening at the Library. We have an awesome addition to our services list. Thanks to the Tocker Foundation's Public Computing Grant, our new public printer, along with Wi-fi printing is up and running and available now. You can now print from your own laptop, iPad/iPhone or Android tablet or smartphone. Come in and let us show you how.  

We are in the process of adding records for all our ebook collection. When complete, this will allow patrons to search ONE catalog for both physical holdings inside the building and our e-books, accessible through the internet. This will make a better search experience.
 
   


 
Have you checked out the library's downloadable music service yet? What does FreegalMusic mean? It stands for free and legal music.This benefit is available at no cost to our library patrons. We hope you enjoy it. pittsburglibrary.freegalmusic.com


Now, just for fun, take the title of the last book you read and add 'with a chainsaw' to the end of it. Just one of those cute book related things you see on Facebook.


 
 
 
It is really busy at the library and we are happy so many of you are using YOUR library. We offer ESL classes on Saturday morning, GED classes on Friday afternoons, Family Literacy classes on Thursday afternoons, Computer classes on Friday mornings, and story time every Thursday afternoon at 4pm. Story time lasts about 30-40 minutes and we have some fabulous volunteers that read to your children. Work us into your after school schedule; we would love for you to join us.

 
 
 
   
 
 
And lastly, we were so sorry to hear of the loss of our friend and local author Nancy Bell. Nancy wrote the 'Biggie' series of light small town mysteries. I recognized so many of the characters in those books and it made it so fun. I knew Nancy a long time and really liked her. We will miss her.

Exercise Your Right! Go Vote! Ejerce tu derecho! Ve y Vota!


                The library hosts story time the first Thursday of each month at 2 p.m. Come out and let your children enjoy the stories from our Living Green Church volunteers.

                Go vote. November 6th is Election Day.  I exercised my right to vote early. Turnout is expected to be very heavy for this Presidential election, so consider voting early. There have been lines and wait time even to vote early. Consider this. What will conditions be like on Election Day, November 6th? When you vote early, you pick the day and time. You pick when you feel your best, when the weather is best, and when you are already making a trip to town.  It is a great option for many voters. 
Voting is serious business. Do your own research on the matter. Be polite when you show up to vote.  We all have different opinions, but the polls are not the time or place to espouse your political views.  In fact, there are usually signs asking you not to. Give all voters the same respect. If you encounter a problem with casting your ballot, be kind but firm in your resolve to exercise your right to vote.
Remember, the right to vote wasn't just handed to Americans. They had to fight for it. This is a right sometimes taken for granted, but the ability for everyone to be able to vote did not appear overnight. It took decades. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is widely considered a landmark in civil-rights legislation, though some of its provisions have sparked political controversy. In 2006, 41 years after the Voting Rights Act passed, Congress, with bi-partisan support, voted to extend the Act for 25 years with its original enforcement provisions left intact. The bill to renew the Act was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on July 13, 2006 by a vote of 390-33, with support from Republican House leadership, led by Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. The U.S. Senate passed the bill 98–0 on July 20, 2006. President George W. Bush signed the bill in a morning ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House on July 27, 2006, one year in advance of the 2007expiration date.  
Exercise your right. Go vote.

                For renewals, reserves, or to make memorials, please contact the Public Library at 613 Quitman Street, Pittsburg, Texas 75686, 903-856-3302 or email info@pittsburglibrary.org. ‘Follow’ us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/PCCPL, ‘Like’ us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pittsburglibrary , or ‘Circle’ us on Google+ http://tinyurl.com/8uv3rpt .

Pittsburg Rincón de la Biblioteca
Por Nancy Murillo, Directora de la Biblioteca                                                                01 de noviembre 2012

La biblioteca en tiempo de hosts historia el primer jueves de cada mes a las 2 pm Venga y deje que sus niños disfrutan de las historias de nuestros voluntarios Living Church Green.
Ir a votar. 06 de noviembre es el Día de las Elecciones. He ejercido mi derecho a votar temprano. La participación se espera que sea muy pesado para esta elección presidencial, por lo que considerar la votación temprana. Ha habido líneas y el tiempo de espera incluso a votar temprano. Considere esto. ¿Qué condiciones de ser como el día de las elecciones, 06 de noviembre? Cuando vote temprano, tienes que elegir el día y la hora. Usted elige cuando se sienta lo mejor posible, cuando el clima es mejor, y cuando ya estás haciendo un viaje a la ciudad. Es una gran opción para muchos votantes.
El voto es un asunto serio. Haga su propia investigación sobre el asunto. Sea cortés cuando usted se presenta a votar. Todos tenemos opiniones diferentes, pero las encuestas no son el momento ni el lugar para abrazar a sus opiniones políticas. De hecho, suele haber carteles pidiendo que no lo hiciera. Dar a todos los votantes el mismo respeto. Si tiene algún problema con emitir su voto, sea amable pero firme en su decisión de ejercer su derecho al voto.
Recuerde, el derecho al voto no era entregado a los estadounidenses. Tuvieron que luchar por ella. Se trata de un derecho a veces se da por sentado, pero la capacidad para que todos puedan votar no apareció durante la noche. Tuvieron que pasar décadas. La Ley de Derechos Electorales de 1965 es ampliamente considerado como un hito en la legislación de los derechos civiles, aunque algunas de sus disposiciones han generado controversia política. En 2006, 41 años después de los Derechos de Voto aprueba la Ley, el Congreso, con el apoyo de ambos partidos, votó a favor de extender la ley por 25 años con sus disposiciones de aplicación originales intactos. El proyecto de ley para renovar la ley fue aprobada por la Cámara de Representantes de EE.UU. el 13 de julio de 2006 por un voto de 390 a 33, con el apoyo del liderazgo republicano de la Cámara, encabezados por el presidente del Comité Judicial F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. El Senado de EE.UU. aprobó el proyecto de ley de 98-0 el 20 de julio de 2006. El presidente George W. Bush firmó la ley en una ceremonia de la mañana en el Jardín Sur de la Casa Blanca, el 27 de julio de 2006, un año antes de la fecha 2007expiration.
El ejercicio de su derecho. Ir a votar.

2011 Summer Story Lady and Program Schedules

“Libraries and librarians do what they do so quietly and efficiently that it's easy to take them for granted. But we do so at our peril. If we don't safeguard them, we will wake up one day and realize that we've lost something very, very precious, essential to democracy, to literacy, to our quality of life. A world without libraries is unthinkable.”—Erica Silverman

Magician to visit Pittsburg library

On Friday July 30th, at 2:00 p.m. James Wand will present his "Secret Agent Magic Show" at the Pittsburg -Camp County Public Library, located 613 Quitman Street in Pittsburg..

The James Wand Secret Agent Magic Show is hilarious fun for libraries that packs powerful educational content into a fast-paced 45-minute show.

James Wand's program is designed for elementary school-aged children. The show is 45 minutes of fantastic educational entertainment for grades Pre-K through 6th grade. Of course, older kids and adults have fun too!

Come early for the best seats! Bring your new canned goods or non-perishable food items for the local food pantries!

A report by the NEA revealed that almost half of all Americans do not read a single book each year. This shocking statistic underscores the importance of encouraging our children to read.


James Wand shows students that the most important skills a secret agent needs are reading and writing. Secret codes, invisible writing and a cool spy book will fascinate the children andmotivate them to excel in these essential skills.

In addition to performing at hundreds of schools and libraries, James has performed at the International Spy Museum, on Fox News, on National Geographic TV, for Vice President Cheney, and has performed at the White House three times!

For more information, call the library (903) 856-3302.
