Library Corner

Welcome to the library corner where we get to share all things library! One might think that libraries are just books…and if you don’t read, why go to them? We are here to share with you just how much more libraries are to our community than a building full of books. Although the Hughes Springs Library and Museum is open only three days a week, we take great pride in serving as a vital community hub. Children are welcome to walk to the library after school or be dropped off, and patrons of all ages know they can visit at any time to receive one-on-one technology assistance. We also help connect community members and guide them in finding the information and resources they need. There truly is something for everyone at the Hughes Springs Library.

“To soak or not to soak?” That is the question...

It’s one of the most common questions I hear, especially from older adults and people living with diabetes. Foot soaks have been around forever and there’s tons of different soaks. Epsom salt, apple cider vinegar, baking soda, and good old soap and water to name a few. Who doesn’t love a good foot soak at the end of a long day? Soaking your feet can feel wonderful. Warm water relaxes muscles, eases tension, and can temporarily soften thick skin and toenails. Many people soak their feet to relieve soreness, reduce stiffness, as part of a home pedicure routine, or simply for some zen time.

However, the boom in data centers across the state increases the risk of rolling brownouts to 1% to 2% through February.
