From The Publishers... Tis The Season! We are all in holiday mode - but first....STATE!
We are on the road to State for football! After a very successful regular season, our Tigers are just couple games away from the State Title once again. Let's finish this, Tigers! No matter what happens on the field, we want to wish all of our Tiger families a VERY Merry CHRISTmas and a Happy New Year! The Marler Family Jimmy, Renee, Chase, Colby, Camden & Dana

Proud to support Gunter ISD and Gunter Athletics!
Children’s Christmas Toy Drive This year the Library participated in a toy drive for many local families here in Gunter. Through the generous donations from the community each child will awaken Christmas morning to new gifts. In this season of giving, proving a child the understanding that others care about them is the best gratitude a person can receive.
Thank you to all! As this year comes to a close, we want to take time to thank everyone that supports and contributes to the Gunter Library. Our members and new visitors checking out and returning books. Patrons utilizing our PC/copy/print stations. People needing fax and notary services, as well. Our treasured sponsors. Individuals, families and the local Gunter businesses who’s financial contributions we rely upon to remain open each day. To our volunteer staff and their generous gifts of their time and talent. Last, to all the children. They make us smile with each visit and their appreciation of books and reading. From the Storytime toddlers, GISD Kindergartners, young readers and High Schoolers we love the time we have with each of you here in the library. We wish all a Merry Christmas and look forward to serving the Gunter community in 2022.
