The district clerk in Athens does not accept appointments. We were able to walk in and be done in 15 minutes. The place I had the photo taken cropped it too close. But they took a replacement for only $5!!! It was almost $13 at the Ups store and I think Dallas passport offices were charging $22. The woman in the office was supper friendly and helpful. The inside of the building is neat because of all the black and white marble.

I missed the annual Christmas Parade, since I was working in Frankston, but I did get to see the…read moreChristmas Party afterwards. There were lots of inflatable slides & bouncy-houses. I love how the courthouse yard & street was all decorated with lights & stuff, they did a great job on that. Many local churches & businesses had different booths set up. I helped with the Eastern Hills Church Of Christ booth (smores & an inflatable slide nearby), & cleaning up afterwards. There were also speakers playing various Christmas tunes, but not too loud that you couldn't have a conversation. It was a little hard finding restrooms, though (perhaps in some various buildings & shops in the area?). I parked over by Railway Cafe & Come & Take It, some may have parked closer, near the Annex. It was a great location for a city-wide Christmas party, or any other city-wide get-together.

One was a USPS office in Tyler, & even closer was at the District Clerk's office on the second floor of the Henderson County courthouse building.

But I signed up for a library card & met some of the staff members (who are friendly & helpful). I sat down at a table upstairs & read & browsed through a book that was lying on the table. They also have DVDs & audio books to rent. Upstairs is the collection of young adult non-fiction & fiction (the room), there is also a children's section, a western section, a sci-fi section, & a mystery section. Those are the sections I have found so far. Since I have a card now, I hope to return so I can start checking out some books!
