It seems we are getting a bit of an extension on filing taxes. Check it out, you may have till May 15.
“The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your arm.”
Speaking of taxes, if you need help filing, VITA will be available at the Zapata County Library on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 2:30 till 5:30 p.m. This is for people who make under $57,000. per year, or are disabled, elderly or have limited English skills. Note, these are trained persons with VITA “not” the Library staff. This free service may be starting this Tuesday, March 23.
The Library is making plans to open to the public again on April 6, with regular hours as before. Until then, free books are still available from the portable shelves at the front door – enjoy, stay healthy and safe.

Even though some restrictions have been changed, common sense should tell you that it is still “smart to wear your mask”. Businesses can refuse service to those not wearing a mask and if the person insists on entering, they can be charged with criminal trespass!
