Our third collaboration with Kendall County AgriLife Extension Service will be a little more involved than the previous two, because an introduction to Beekeeping deserves it!! If you've ever wanted to set up a beekeeping operation--maybe for the honey, or maybe just to keep our little pollinating friends happy--you should come to this exciting new program! Entomologist Molly Keck will present this fascinating subject, and if you've ever been to one of her programs know you're in for a treat! Come to the Library's Learning Center from 1-5 pm on Thursday, May 14 (that's TOMORROW!) for a great start to this intriguing hobby!!

Who doesn't like Dinosaurs?? Well, nobody that we know of! And dinosaurs are key to this year's Summer Reading Program's theme of "Unearth A Story", so we're featuring these fun t-shirts with reading dinosaurs!! There are two styles to choose from, both short-sleeved (for summer, you know). There are blue and purple ones with cute, cartoon-ish dinos, and an olive green one with a T. rex skeleton reading a book. You can get any of them in adult sizes, or either the purple or olive green one in children's sizes. If you want you (and you do want one, don't you?), just call or come by the library before April 29 and we'll make sure you get one before the summer begins!

Come over to the Friends of Comfort Public Library's Book Barn (our extensively stocked used book store) for some lovely handmade cloth bags that would make a perfect Mother's Day gift or even a gift for yourself.

Happy New Year to all Friends members!

The holidays are behind us. We’ve said goodbye to visiting family and friends and packed up the decorations. Now it’s time to jump into 2026 and make it the best it can be.

Last year was a good year for the Friends of Comfort Public Library. Through a combination of membership dues and Book Barn sales, the Friends ended the year with almost $50,000 in the bank. Last year, the Friends contributed $10,000 to the Library for programs and other needs. This year we hope to make another major contribution to continuing the Library’s work in the Comfort community.

This year will offer some challenges and hopefully will be a new chapter for the Friends. The Friends’ Board has several open positions that need to be filled. Those positions are vice-president, secretary, and two at-large spots. Responsibilities include attending an annual meeting, which will not be held this year due to the lack of a working board, and handling Friends business during the year, which is largely conducted via email. If you would be interested in serving on the Friends board or would like more information, contact Anne Pargeter, Friends Board president, at [email protected].

In addition to finding new board members, the Friends have set a goal of having the Book Barn open on both Friday and Saturday. To accomplish this goal, additional Friends volunteers are needed to staff the Book Barn when it is open. This involves greeting browsers, helping them find books, shelving newly donated books and similar tasks. Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Anne Pargeter, Friends Board president, at [email protected]. If you love books and enjoy talking to other readers, giving an hour or two to the Book Barn is the perfect way to help.

A decision was made to include the Friends in this year’s Comfort Library’s fundraising appeal (Annual Letter) rather than spend money on a separate mailing. Please consider including the Friends when making your donation to the library this year.

A new year offers new opportunities to help the Friends of Comfort Public Library continue to support the library and the important part it plays in enriching the lives of Comfort residents.

No one can do everything, but everyone can do something. — Max Lucado

Boundless app expiring 12/15/2025

Despite measures to continue operations and preserve pending contracts with libraries, the book distributor Baker & Taylor (B&T), a longtime fixture in the library technology industry, will shutter. And with it, its popular "Boundless" app, which features popular eBooks and eAudio books that you can access with your CPL library card number, will no longer be available. After December 15, 2025, your "Boundless" app will no longer be functional, and any materials you have checked out through it will effectively "disappear". The good news is--the "Libby" app is, and will continue to be, fully functional; "Libby" not only has eBooks and eAudio books, but it has eMagazines as well!! For now, the Texas State Library and Archives Commission is diligently looking for a replacement for "Boundless", but it may be some time before they find just the right app for Texas patrons. We'll keep you apprised, and when we find out what's coming we'll let you know!!
