The freedom to read is worth protecting. 💙

This Banned Books Week, we're honoring the stories that have faced challenges and the reasons they deserve to stay on the shelf. Books help us understand experiences different from our own, and they give so many readers the chance to finally see themselves represented. That's why keeping them accessible matters. 📖

On October 16, 2026 the library will be holding a special event: Genealogy After Hours. You will be able to choose your own adventure at the Morgan County Public Library from 4:30 - 10 PM. You may stay as little or as long as you like, but PLEASE be sure to arrive before the library closes at 5:30 PM. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED to join in the adventure, which will include the following:
an opportunity to further your genealogy research (you are welcome to bring any research you have already done, a tablet or laptop, etc.), View any one or all of the webinars that will be shown (courtesy of the Waco-McClellan Library Genealogy Center), and learn how to digitize photographs using our Memory Station (bring a flash drive and some photographs to digitize). You may do any of all of the above.
