Learn the basics of programming (in most any language) and begin creating your own programs. We will use Python, a popular general purpose programming language used in many fields, from software and web development to graphics and robotics to data analysis. We will meet online at 10 a.m. each Monday beginning June 21 (except for July 5) through August 9. For more information or to register, please call the library at 281-478-7208 or email library@deerparktx.org.

If you know of someone who would like to learn to speak English as a second language, they may be interested in a free online class at the Deer Park Public Library. The class meets Tuesdays at 10 a.m. in an online meeting. To join the class, contact the library at 281-478-7208 or email library@deerparktx.org. In addition to the class, the library provides a free Rosetta Stone phone app at its website, deerparktx.gov/library (see E-Library). All that is necessary to use the app is a library card.

Pick up the materials at the Library and then join us Live on Facebook, Tuesday, July 27th @ 3:30 p.m. to watch the instructional video! These crafts are presented for children 5-11 years old and materials are provided free of charge. Materials may be picked up beginning on Friday, July 23rd.

Mark your calendars as we celebrate the End of Summer Reading Program with a Petting Zoo!

There will be plenty of fun including Sno-Cones, Balloon Twisting, and the Petting Zoo! For more info contact the library at 281-478-7208 or email youthlibrarian@deerparktx.org.

Drop by and pick up (or download from our catalog) a book we've picked out on these topics related to the month of July: the Olympics, baseball, travel, or Independence Day. Then join us at the library on Thursday, July 29 at 10:30 a.m., to talk about it - or another great book you've been reading lately. For more information, please contact the library at 281-478-7208 or library@deerparktx.org.

Storytime will alternate between outdoor in person sessions and live virtual sessions on Facebook. Outdoor sessions will be held in the field behind the library. In case of bad weather, Storytime will be broadcast Live on Facebook. Storytime is designed to encourage a love for books and language and incorporates books, fingerplays, and songs to promote interest in reading and lifelong learning. Caregivers are encouraged to watch with the children and encourage participation. Please stay in touch on social media for the latest updates.

Join us from home to learn Microsoft Word and OneDrive. We'll use the basic (free) version of this program for our online class. All you need to do is set up a free Microsoft account.
