Thank you to everyone who joined The Friends of the University Park Public Library Annual Meeting! We heard from President Katharine Friguletto, Library Director Jackie Lott, and City of University Park, TX - Government Manager Robbie Corder about the year behind us and the work ahead.

With 316 members, The Friends helped support Summer Reading and the library's first-ever Community Read. The City also shared an update on current library happenings and community needs.

Here’s to the next chapter, together! Join us: https://uplibraryfriends.org/join/

Remember those books you donated at the library this summer? They’re in the hands of North Texas students now!

We partnered with the nonprofit Catch Up & Read for summer reading. Your donations are now helping young readers build their skills this school year.

This matters because fewer than half of third graders in the U.S. read on grade level, and third grade is when kids shift from learning to read to reading to learn. Catch Up & Read works with elementary schools in underserved North Texas communities, in English and Spanish, to close that gap.

Thank you again to every family, neighbor and University Park Public Library visitor who donated a book!
