The annual Painted Chair fundraiser has returned to Lampasas Public Library, with special recognition to a late community member. The fundraiser has been renamed the Katherine Mezger Painted Chair Event to honor one of the former members of the Library Advisory Board.

Local organizations are stepping up and joining hands this holiday season to provide for pets without homes. The Lampasas Public Library is holding an Operation Santa Paws donation drive for the Lampasas Animal Shelter.

Fifteen years ago, the Lampasas Public Library offered a barbecue sandwich lunch as a way to raise funds. It was such a success it has become an annual event.

As the summer activity at Lampasas Public Library slows down somewhat, staff are taking a break from events for the rest of July and looking ahead to a full fall schedule. “We’re just taking a break right now, taking a breath,” Library Director Shanda Subia said.
