August artist of the month

Kim Smith

 

Kim is a resident of Montell, Texas in Uvalde County. She is married and has two adult sons, two daughters-in-law, and two grandchildren. She loves spending time with her family and friends. She began using photography as a tool to learn more about the birds she was seeing on her walks and then began a journey of attempting to maker her photos more artistic.

She loves to capture random scenes while taking walks or drives through different places. Birds and other wildlife are favorite subjects, but anything that captures her eye is likely to be documented in a photo. She uses her photographs to make gifts for family and friends and occasionally enters in contest.

You may be aware that our library receives an annual contribution from Real County, as required by the Texas Administrative Code.  However, 75% of our operating funds come from donations and fundraisers.  The Camp Wood Public Library is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, which means your contributions are 100% tax deductible.  And because we are an all-volunteer organization, all the funds received can be used for maintaining the library and providing services to our community.  We invite you to view our annual reports at tsl.texas.gov/ldn/statistics or at the library.

It is thanks to your donations that we are able to meet the costs of operating the library and to offer continuing services to our residents and visitors in the Canyon.  We hope you will come visit us at the library!  We would love to get acquainted and show you how your contributions are put to work.

 

Sincerely,

A HELPFUL FEATURE OF THE CAMP WOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY CATALOG

In the bottom left hand corner of the Camp Wood Public Library General Catalog, you will see three menu icons: Visit Us, Contact Us, and Kids’ Catalog.  Select and left click on the Kids’ Catalog icon.  You will be redirected to a page that looks like the Kids’ Catalog page below.  You will see over sixty-eight subject icons.  These subject icons search for books that are Stories (Fiction) and books that are Facts (Nonfiction).  You will see these two icons in the bottom left hand corner of the Kid’s Catalog page.  When the catalog is first opened, the icons default automatically to books that are Stories (Fiction.) You can select to switch back and forth to Stories and Facts. Try the two icons on the bottom right hand corner to view those page results. In the top right hand corner, you will notice an icon for General Catalog.  You can alternate back and forth to the General Catalog and the Kids’ Catalog.  No kids’ books have been removed from the General Catalog to create the Kids’ Catalog.  All library items can be searched for and viewed on the General Catalog.
