The Summer Garage Library

🍁Today in the driveway at 4p—it’s a BEAUTIFUL fall day for a walk and a story!🍁
Thank you TAFE students— the Byron Nelson High School teaching students— who are putting on this event for our community of readers as one of their projects 📚

Another year of haunting the driveway 👻
Stop by tonight for candy, and on SUNDAY there’s more!!
The Byron Nelson HS teaching students will be reading aloud in the driveway Sunday, November 2 at 4p!!! Come by for a great story and to support these students 📚

Take as long as you need—even 82 years—!
We’ve had books show up at our door years later, and in all conditions—it’s all part of the library adventure. No shame, just send the books home so another reader can meet them!

The annual book migration is mostly complete and the summer is coming to an end 🦋
THANK YOU to all of our readers, families, neighbors and supporters—you make The Summer Garage Library possible year after year, and these six librarians are grateful for each of you ❤️📚
Keep reading & returning books, and we’ll wrap up our AMAZING 7th season with some mind-blowing reader stats, shout-outs to this year’s top readers, and perhaps a fall surprise in the works…?!🍁
Get excited about the first book of the school year—it could be your new favorite!

Party time at the library! Seven years of summer reading 📚📚🎉

Librarians with a librarian!
Thank you, Mrs. Hammonds, for sharing a special story with our readers. She introduced us to Novel Effect, an app that makes stories come to life! And who doesn’t love a story about cookies—thanks for a great night!
