Hi Everyone

Libro Fest is quickly approaching and Flores Branch will be having several events occurring at their location . Flyers are on their way to all the locations per Jennifer Schwartz.
Alief Branch received sponsorship to have a festival October 18, 12 pm -4 pm for Teen Read Week it will have book and technology related activities.
October flip kits be will introduced into several HISD locations. They will contain the same materials as our kits. The bags will be blue and geared toward students that are around 1st grade. The kits aren't suppose to check out, but if they accidentally show up at our locations contact Kallie Benes at kbenes@cmhhouston.org
