Poverty and, thus, the risk of hunger is a reality for more than a quarter of a million people living in the communities served by Tarrant Area Food Bank (TAFB). Children account for more than one-third (35%) of these individuals. The Bedford Public Library and the City of Bedford Fire Department are hosting a non-perishable food drive to help TAFB help others.
You can bring your donations to the Library during November and December.
Hunger occurs year-around! Visit www.tafb.org to learn more.

Bedford Library Goes to the Dogs!
READ2Rover is a program that encourages children to read by providing a nonjudgemental listner and furry friend to read to that won't laugh at them if they make a mistake or stumble over a word, but rather lie next to them and enjoy being read to.
This relationship between child and dog enables the child to gain a positive attitude about reading, improving reading skills, building confidence, and the enjoyment of reading.
Registration is requried for this free program.
Program will be held on :
Sunday, September 27
