Citizen Volunteer Non-Profit Organization that supports the needs of Evelyn Meador Public Library in Seabrook, Texas
On November 12, Longtime Seabrook resident and author Mary Sue Anton hosted a discussion of her latest book, “Tales of a Century-Old Courthouse”, at Evelyn Meador Library. Mary Sue Anton recalled a family traumatic event which occurred 80 years ago and how her memory of a middle-of-the night escape from turbulent Mississippi River waters became a book.
Thanks to everyone that supported this event!
The Friends participated in the Celebration Seabrook festivities on Saturday, November 5th! We introduced a lot of families to our Library and Bookstore. ShellyLynn worked her magic during story time. We had a great turnout on a beautiful fall day. Check out our photos below!
Come by and meet members of the Friends of Evelyn Meador on Saturday, November 5 from 11-5 at Celebration Seabrook!

We will also have children’s books and other goodies for sale. See you there!
Ruth Burke, resident Seabrook artist, has graciously donated these beautiful limited edition posters to the Friends of Evelyn Meador. Each print is signed and numbered.

Evelyn Meador celebrated Friends of the Library Week on October 17th by providing yummy refreshments and a signed poster to the Friends of Evelyn Meador Board. Thanks to our wonderful librarian, Milagros! It was very much enjoyed.
Come by and check out our great Japanese manga collection! Manga is very popular with teens; it’s Japanese for “cartoon” or “comic strip”. They are essentially Japanese graphic novels and will sell fast! Check the rating on the back cover to ensure that the book is appropriate for your child’s age group. All books are $1 each. Hurry before they’re all gone!
