Library News

As we get ready for Halloween, we’re hosting two kids’ programs about animals that some people find a little spooky!

We’ve installed new doors in our entryways and new shelving in our Children’s Area, improving accessibility for all users! These projects were made possible through two $20,000 grants as part of the Libraries Transforming Communities initiative.

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month. We’re especially excited this year to unveil a new design for our library cards!

With a new school year starting, remember that the library is here for you with after school activities!

We have regular activities for kids in the afternoon every day of the week, including:

We’re celebrating the 2024 Olympics at the library! We’ll be streaming live coverage of the events every day in our café/lounge.

We also have a great selection of books for kids & adults available to borrow. Come in and check it all out!

Wild Wednesdays at the library continue throughout July!

Learn about Bees on the 17th, Animal Pelts on the 24th, and Otters on the 31st.

Every Wednesday over the summer at 1:30 p.m., a special guest visits to teach us about something from the natural world!

Celebrate the end of Summer Reading with us with an ice cream party!

This program is for participants in our youth Summer Reading program "Adventure Begins at Your Library" and their families only.

Summer Reading is here! The theme for this year's youth program is “Adventure Begins at Your Library.”

Children ages 3–18 can take part in Summer Reading. Summer Reading is free – there is no charge to participate in the program or activities!

The Children’s Area is getting a makeover! We’ll be installing new carpeting the week of May 20th.

Kindergartners and 2^nd graders got to see what the Pulaski County Public Library is all about during class visits earlier this month.

139 Eastern Pulaski students from the two grades visited the library in early May.

Come to the library on Saturday, May 11th for a Mother's Day Story Time!

We'll be reading "We’re Making Breakfast for Mother" by Shirley Neitzel, "Mamasaurus" by Stephen Lomp, and more.

We'll also make a paper flower craft for Mother's Day.

May the Fourth be with you on Star Wars Day (May 4^th)!

We'll have Star Wars crafts available in the Children’s Area throughout the first week of May!

Did your child register for a tree for Earth Day? These lovely white pine trees are ready for pickup during the library’s regular hours. We received 133 local requests for trees. Please pick up your tree by Saturday, April 27th.

Visit our children's area this month to take part in a snail scavenger hunt!

We've hidden snail images around the area, each featuring a number and a letter.  Put the letters in the right order to spell out a secret message and win a prize!
