Racheal Clark was looking for a home – and found it at the Groesbeck Journal. What began as a job (two years ago this week) has morphed into something more.

A couple of weeks back I reported that our book distributor was in the process of a merger and book deliveries were being delayed. Unfortunately, it has come to the attention of libraries nationwide that the merger did not go through. Baker & Taylor will shut down at the end of the year. All libraries are scrambling to find new distributors, we luckily have already found a new distributor, so we are now playing catch up trying to get new titles out to our patrons as soon as possible. However, our Boundless app that our patrons use to access E-Books and Audiobooks will no longer work come the end of the year. As of now the app is still functioning however, new books will no longer be added monthly. For now, the Texas State Library is trying to figure out a new vendor to provide this service. I will continue to update as information is distributed to us through the state. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes to our patrons and hope you will be patient with us as we work through this unexpected situation.
