Friends of the Bulverde Area Rural Library District

The Bulverde Area Rural Library District (BARLD) includes 200 square miles in the western portion of Comal County, Texas.  The Mammen Family Public Library is the only library serving this rapidly growing area. Your donation will help the Mammen Family Public Library fund the purchase of additional VOX books for children. VOX books are books that kids can read along with to improve their reading and language skills.  Due to the electronic component, these books are expensive. At present, the library has VOX books in English, Spanish, German, and Korean. They would like to purchase more of these popular books.
