The Archer Public Library is excited to participate in Texoma Gives again on September 8th! We are raising money for next year's Summer Reading Program to help the kids of Archer County fight the Summer Slide, the loss of reading proficiency in the summer months. We hire educational performers, host arts and crafts events, and hold a reading contest with prizes for the participants to encourage kids to read all summer long! All these events are free to the children of Archer County so that we may help kids of all income levels. Please help us reach our goal by visiting https://www.texomagives. org/organizations/ archerpubliclibrary on Thursday, September 8th. Thank you for your support!
