Feb. 17, 2011 - Representatives of law enforcement agencies and courts from more than 120 jurisdictions across Texas recently announced combined efforts to host the fourth annual Great Texas Warrant Roundup beginning Saturday, March 5.

The roundup is designed to target thousands of defendants with traffic, parking, city ordinance, penal code and higher charge warrants from participating jurisdictions. It is believed to be the largest joint operation of its kind with arrests expected to continue for several days.

Feb. 10, 2011 - Since the last article regarding items that need to be returned to the library, director Rose Farhood is happy to report most have been returned, and is also announcing another drive to help out a local charity organization. During the month of February, the Leonard Public Library will grant amnesty to those owing library fines in exchange for canned good donations to restock the LEAP Food Pantry shelves.

Feb. 10, 2011 - Area residents may be getting a knock on their door soon, if they haven't already. Girl Scout Cookie Sales began Jan. 7 and will continue through the end of March or so, with cookie deliveries beginning after Feb. 20 to the girls. The girls will then deliver to each person who ordered from them in the following days.

The Leonard Public Library would like to remind those individuals who have library items that have not been returned, to do so please. Even if it has been a month or six months, please return the items - no questions asked and no fines. The library would just like to get the property back.
