Houston County Public Library System Library Board will meet on Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 6 pm at the Centerville Public Library.
Computer Classes Suspended
We regret to announce that due to a major maintenance issue, the FVSU MIT Center will not be able to come out for computer classes this month. Since we have no control over the restoration of the truck’s service, computer classes at all three Houston County Public Libraries will be suspended until further notice. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience and hope that we are able to provide this type of service again in the future. For additional information, please call 987-3050 ext 21. Thank you.
