COMING this SUMMER in JUNE: Citizen101

Ever wondered how your city services work behind the scenes? Curious about career opportunities in public service? Want your kids to see real equipment used by first responders and local departments?

Our Brenham Nancy Carol Roberts Memorial Library has created Citizen101 — an interactive presentation series designed for ALL ages!

Each Monday from 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM, local city departments will share:
✅ Services available to residents
✅ Career opportunities for teens and young adults
✅ Hands-on equipment demonstrations for kids
✅ Local history, heroes, and community stories

This summer series is part of our celebration of America250 and Library125, with the goal of bringing citizens closer to the people and services that help our community thrive every day.

Whether you’re a lifelong resident, a student exploring future careers, or simply curious about how things work in our community, Citizen101 is for you!

June 1 - First Responders
June 8 - Public Utilities/Electric
June 15 - Animal Services/Joint Adoption Event
