Texas Library Association

The Jones Public Library is proud to announce that for the second year in a row, we are a recipient of the Summer at the Library Grant! We received $4,000 that will help us bring our summer programs to life.

We want to extend a dino-sized thank you to the Texas Library Association and H-E-B! Every year, H-E-B works with the Texas Library Association to raise money for the Summer at the Library Grant. This grant provides additional funds to Texas public libraries so that communities across the state have the opportunity to host their summer programs.
