November artist of the month

Sherry Garza

To see another side of our Post Master in Camp Wood, come to the library where our own Sherry Garza is the featured artist of the month for November.  Sherry has enjoyed crafting over the years, starting with canvas.  Since 2020, she and her sister have become passionate crafters of miniature houses.  Although separated by distance, the two sisters work on the same miniature and try and outdo each other with embellishments and add-ons.  To date, they have completed 62 miniatures!  Twenty- five are on display in the library, including a Halloween house, beach house, and of course a post office!  Special tools and lots of patience are required to craft each miniature, but Sherry finds this hobby relaxing and rewarding as she lovingly brings each miniature

The Camp Wood Public Library is pleased to display artwork by Aleah Ordaz. 

Aleah says she enjoys painting in her spare time. “I like mixing different colors and trying different textures.” Some of the mediums she likes are brushes, string, and glitter.

Be sure to stop by this month and see the colorful and interesting artwork that one of our talented young people has on display. The library is open Tuesday-Friday from 11 to 5.

On behalf of the volunteers at the Camp Wood Public Library, I thank you for your continuing financial support of our community library. 

With your backing, we are able to offer free WiFi access 24/7 and computers for public use during the library’s open hours.  We offer office equipment to copy documents, send and receive faxes, and print materials via computer.  We maintain a selection of movies on DVD, audio books, and the latest fiction and nonfiction books for people of all ages to enjoy.  All this, and we also offer your favorite books, audio books, and movies digitally through Overdrive, a free service which allows you to borrow these items anytime, anywhere – you don’t even have to leave home!  By simply using your library membership number and telephone number to sign into Overdrive or the Libby app, you can borrow these items for your tablet or cell phone.

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,

Karla Helton

A HELPFUL FEATURE OF THE CAMP WOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY CATALOG

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.
