    The Silsbee Public Library was one the recipients of the Texas Book Festival Collections Enhancement Grant this past year.  The grant award was for $2,500 and will be used to enhance the library's audio collection.  The library was able to add 124 audio books as a result of obtaining the grant.


     Since the Texas Book Festival’s founding in 1995, by First Lady Laura Bush, it has been a part of the organization’s mission to promote literacy and support Texas libraries.
