LIBRARY NEWS

Dear O. Henry Library Community:
​
We are living in a strange time. It seems as if Stephen King is writing 2020. Sadly, the O. Henry Library is closed to circulation, but we have a WIDE selection of ebooks and audio books for your reading pleasure. See instructions under the READING tab at the top of the page titled ebooks.

Be on the lookout for weekly library newsletters featured in the Pony Express and posted in the O. Henry Library course via Blend.  Also, check out the ohenryreads instagram account for fun tidbits.

If you have specific questions or need a book recommendation, please reach out to me via email: ashley.cross@austinisd.org.

I miss you all very much!

Ms. Cross
