VACATION PLANNING AT THE LIBRARY
Spring is here, and summer is just around the corner. Are you planning a trip? Or are you just dreaming of all the places you would like to visit someday? Start your travel plans with a stop at Fort Bend County Libraries, where you can find information on destinations and travel-planning tips. Or you may just want to find a book or a video on faraway places so you can experience the world without ever leaving the comfort of your own home!
The library is a good starting point for researching vacation opportunities in and around the Texas Gulf Coast and the Hill Country. You can find information on weekend excursions or day trips, from birding trails and biker trails to ghost towns and quirky oddities off the beaten path. Texas has a treasure trove of adventures just waiting to be experienced! Start planning your trip with some of these resources…
