🦖📚 THANK YOU FOR HELPING US “UNEARTH A STORY!” 📚🦖

What an absolutely dino-mite day at the Meridian-Lauderdale County Public Library! Our Summer Reading Kickoff was filled with laughter, excitement, dinosaurs, books, community, and so many wonderful memories.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped make today possible:
🦖 The Dinosaur Crew
🐐 Mrs. Angie Hales Petting Zoo
📚 Our amazing featured authors
🤝 Community organizations and partners
🍧 Fizz and Sipps
🍴 Jabos Eats and Sweets
💛 Our incredible Dusty and Lamar student volunteers
📖 Our hardworking library staff
…and of course, EVERY patron and family who came out to celebrate with us!

From roaring dinosaur shows and visiting the petting zoo to meeting local authors and signing up for Summer Reading, today was a reminder of how special our library community truly is.

Thank you for spending part of your day with us and helping us kick off a summer full of stories, imagination, adventure, and fun. We can’t wait to see everyone throughout the summer! ☀️📚🦕

✨ COMMUNITY RESOURCE ROLL CALL ✨

📚 At the Meridian-Lauderdale County Public Library, we believe libraries are more than books; they’re community resource hubs. A strong community happens when people know where to turn for help, support, education, and opportunities.

We would love your help building a community resource thread for our area!

If your organization, group, program, church, nonprofit, or business offers FREE or low-cost resources or services for the community, please share them in the comments below. We are especially looking for resources for ALL ages: children, teens, adults, seniors, families, caregivers, educators, and more.

Please include:
• Organization name
• Contact information
• Ages served
• Services/resources offered
• City and/or county areas served

*Update*
Due to the rainy week ahead this event has been cancelled. We will meet at the library instead of the lake for some indoor fun!!

Calling all Toddlers!! Join some of your favorite librarians at Bonita Lakes Park Playground (to the right of the first pavilion), as we read, blow bubbles, and make new friends. Please bring a blanket or towel to sit on.
