West Library captures state award
West Public Library was honored by the Texas Library Association with the Wayne Williams Project of the Year Award for the library’s Tale Tellers program. Tale Tellers is made up of teenaged volunteers who coordinate children’s storytime and its activities at the library. The program is held monthly during the school year and weekly during the summer. The Project of the Year competition is open to all Texas libraries; the award usually is won by libraries in larger cities. Tale Tellers members who accepted the award at the association’s state conference in San Antonio with librarian Nancy Hykel (right) were (from left) Melany Jean, Brianna Veselka and Amy Holocek.
