Some residents may see smoke emanating from northeast Bryan as field crews from the City of Bryan’s Water Services perform smoke testing on sanitary sewer lines. Testing could continue intermittently through the end of April.

Starting April 3, the Bryan + College Station Public Library System is implementing a new Late Fine Amnesty Program for the next two years in an attempt to get items that are overdue returned to the library branches, and reduce barriers to library access for residents.

When patrons don’t return library materials by their due date, late fines are assessed and the patron’s account ends up being blocked. Often, that leads to items never being returned. This new program hopes to change that.

Learn more about the program.

On Friday, April 7, City of Bryan offices will be closed in observance of the Good Friday holiday and will resume normal operating hours on Monday, April 10.

Solid waste collections will operate as normal.

Sunset Shimmer

3 years old | Pit Bull Mix | Spayed Female

These soulful eyes belong to Sunset Shimmer! She is a 3-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier weighing approximately 60 lbs. This girl is as gentle as her name sounds. She is sweet and shy but wants to love so badly! She is the kind of pup who will need a few days to open up in the home but will undoubtedly be your best friend. After spending just a little bit of time gaining her trust, you will already see her fun personality emerging as she begins to play with toys. She is searching for a home that will be understanding as she comes out of her shell. Although, she needs patience when it comes to trusting humans, Sunset Shimmer is great with cats and other dogs. She is heartworm negative, spayed, and up-to-date on vaccines. Fill out an online adoption application and come meet her if you would like to add Sun

If you are interested in meeting Sunset Shimmer, visit the Bryan Animal Center or call 979.209.5260. 

EASTER SPECIAL: All adoptions are half priced, April 1 - 15.
