The Friends of the Library would like to remind everyone that the Fall book sale will be on this Friday and Saturday in the meeting room at the library.
The sale starts Friday at 9:00 with hardcover books just $1.00 until 3:00.
From 3:00 until 5:00, books are just $1.00 per bag.
Saturday hours are 9:00 until 2:00, with books just $1.00 per bag.

The library Storybook Walk has been completed.
Thanks to the City of Livingston, Michael Hayes and the city park employees, and Jerry Schetterer, a story has been placed down at Livingston City Park. Storybook Trails transform outdoor spaces into interactive reading experiences. Families can walk, read, and play together as they journey through child-height story panels—fostering literacy, movement, and shared moments outdoors.
The official ribbon cutting will happen on October 16 at 10:30, but it is open for everyone to enjoy now.
The Millard Oakley Library will take part of Falloween this year, which will be at Central Park this year on October 25.
Please stop by and say hello.
The library, and all Overton County offices will be closed on October 13.
