We are excited to share that the NRH Library has been recognized with the Achievement of Library Excellence Award from the Texas Municipal Library Director's Association (TMLDA) for the ninth consecutive year! 🎉

To receive the Achievement of Library Excellence Award, the library must exhibit excellence by providing services to underserved and special populations, enhancing services, marketing in innovative ways, promoting cultural, topical, and educational programming, providing literacy support, providing summer reading clubs, pursuing collaborative efforts, supporting workforce development, providing for digital inclusion, and comprehensively training staff. Of the 545 public libraries in Texas, only 84 received this award in 2023, placing your library in the top 15% of libraries in the state!

We want to thank all our staff, volunteers (including the wonderful Readding with Mollie's Friends canine volunteers), and Friends of the NRH Library for their hard work and dedication in 2023. Without your amazing contributions, this award would not have been possible.
