 Hello and welcome to the Fort Worth. I'm Alicia Woodruff, and I'm Chris Connolly. Chris, what are you doing with all these books? They're my overdue library books. I'm gonna sneak out to the Dropbox, drop them in and run. Why? Just take them inside. Can't you afford the overdue funds? It's not that. Librarians scare me, and I don't like to be shushed. Can I please just pay my fine and uh... Is this a coffee stain? Have you no sense of decency? Actually, Fort Worth's public libraries are great places, with a friendly staff and lots to do, and not just checking out books. There are programs that feature music, art, and more. One of those is the photo collection on the street where you live, on display through March 15th. Local photographers Terry Barnes and Bill Webb share photos intended to remind us that there are just as many photographic treasures in our area and maybe even on the street where you live. The exhibit can be found in the west wing of the Central Library, located at 500 West 3rd Street, downtown. If you're looking for a little more variety, another display to check out at the Central Library location is Visual Voices The Art of DM Expressions, running through March 5th. DM Expressions encourages and celebrates all forms of artistic expression, welcoming artists, musicians, and poets. The pieces in this exhibit are the works of three members of DM Expressions, Dante Malone, Duraz Leggington, and Edward Johnson. Combined, they have more than 30 years of experience working in a variety of media. Learn more about DM Expressions at its website. And if music is your thing, then check out the East Regional Library location, 6301 Bridge Street, when local jazz artist, Joc Lewis, teams with the Van Zant Gwyn Elementary School Choir to present Celebrating Black History Through Music, February 27th at 6 p.m. Lewis is a local saxophonist and vocalist who has put together this musical tribute to Black History Month. With the help of the school choir, he will perform a variety of inspired music ranging from jazz to gospel. To learn more about this and other library programs, check out the Fort Worth Public Library website. And for those of you who are embracing the digital age, check out the website to find out how you can get books online through your digital e-readers like Kindle or Nook. So you can check out books and never have to go into the library. Oh yeah, and never have to face a scary librarian again. That's great, but they'll still probably just email me shishes.
