Bonham, Texas — The Bonham Public Library is proud to announce its 125th Anniversary, marking over a century of dedication to literacy, learning, and community enrichment. Founded in 1901, the Library has grown from a small circulating collection into a vital resource for residents of all ages.

To commemorate this milestone, the City of Bonham will present a formal proclamation at the upcoming City Council meeting, October 13, 2025, recognizing the Library’s historic contributions and ongoing impact.
Throughout the year, the Library will host a series of special events and programs celebrating its legacy and inviting the community to participate. These events will include annual Pumpkin Patch Bazaar, Books and Blooms, historical exhibits, children’s activities, and more—all designed to honor the past while inspiring future generations.

“We’re excited to celebrate 125 years of service,” said Stacey McCraw, Director of the Bonham Public Library. “This is a moment to reflect on our history, thank our supporters, and look ahead to the future of public libraries in Bonham.”

The Library invites all residents to join in the celebration and stay tuned for announcements about upcoming events.
