The Rice Public Library is thrilled to announce that we are a recipient of the 2026 TLA/HEB summer at the library grant!
Last year the grant provided us with the ability to cover all summer reading performers, Storytimes, crafts and prizes! This year it will assist to cover those things as well as add additional new books to the library! We are so grateful for the support we have received and are so happy to be able to provide a summer filled of activities to the community of Rice.

Summer Reading is not only for the kids, adults can join in on the fun too this June and July!
Stop by the library to pick up a bookish bingo page to complete and return by July 24th for a chance to win a basket filled with bookish prizes. Winner will be drawn July 30th.

Our first book club meeting is June 20th! We'll start at the library for a quick coffee where you can meet and talk to other Rice book loving people. After we'll head on down to Wrath and Reverie for bookish tattoos where a portion of each tattoo will be given back to the library's future programs!
