If you still have a copy of Spare from last month’s book club, please return it to the library as soon as possible.

These books are part of a collection we borrow through the Alabama Public Library Service, and they need to be returned so they can continue their journey to other libraries and readers.

Don’t forget that this month’s book club selection is Funny Story by Emily Henry. If you haven’t picked up your copy yet, stop by the library!

Thank you for helping us keep our book club program running smoothly!

This afternoon’s Explorer Quest took our young adventurers on a dinosaur hunt throughout the library!

Explorers searched high and low to find hidden dinosaurs, answered questions about each dinosaur they discovered, collected secret letters, and worked together to solve our mystery word: DINOSAURS! 🦕🦖

Along the way, they learned fun dinosaur facts, practiced their observation skills, and put their detective abilities to the test. It was exciting to watch everyone race from clue to clue while helping each other complete the quest.

Every explorer who completed the challenge earned either:
🎟️ A ticket for our Summer Reading prize chest
OR
🎟️ A ticket for this week’s prize drawing

Congratulations to all of our junior paleontologists for successfully completing their mission!

Explorer Quest meets every Wednesday at 3:00 PM as part of our Unearth a Story Summer Reading program. We can’t wait to see what adventure awaits next week!

Every summer, our parking lot is filled with families, children, and visitors coming to enjoy Summer Reading programs at the library. This year, however, we have a very special guest sharing the space with us!

A ground-nesting bird has decided our parking area is the perfect place to raise a family. We’ve marked the nest with cones and ask everyone to please be mindful of the area when visiting the library.

Can anyone identify these eggs? They appear to belong to a bird that nests directly on the ground, and mom isn’t usually far away. If you see her nearby, please give her plenty of space.

Unfortunately, the nest originally contained four eggs, but we are now down to two remaining eggs. We’re hoping the remaining little ones have a chance to hatch safely.

As you visit the library this summer, please watch for the cones and help us protect our feathered neighbor. It’s not every day that Summer Reading comes with a real-life nature lesson!

🦖🎨 Our young paleontologists got creative this afternoon at Unearth & Create! 🎨🦖

Today’s challenge was to design and create an original dinosaur species, and our participants did not disappoint!

We saw dinosaurs with spikes, horns, special powers, unique habitats, and some very creative diets. In fact, one young artist even created a dinosaur that drinks blood 😳🦕! Let’s just say we’d rather not meet that one on a walk through the prehistoric jungle!

Each child named their dinosaur and decided what it ate, where it lived, and what made it unique. It was amazing to see their imaginations at work and hear the stories behind their creations.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for another fun Summer Reading program. We love seeing our young explorers use their creativity and storytelling skills as we continue to Unearth a Story together!

📚🦴🦕 See you at our next summer adventure!

What an incredible way to kick off our Unearth a Story Summer Reading program!

This afternoon, the Science Lady brought dinosaurs, science, and excitement together for an unforgettable program. Our young explorers learned about dinosaurs, fossils, and chemical reactions while enjoying hands-on demonstrations and some very exciting science experiments! 🧪💥🦕

The room was filled with curious minds, lots of laughter, and plenty of “oohs” and “ahhs” as kids discovered that learning can be both educational and FUN.

Thank you, Science Lady, for helping us start Summer Reading with such an amazing program and for inspiring our young scientists to keep asking questions, exploring, and discovering new things!

We also want to thank all the families who joined us today. This is just the beginning of a summer full of adventures, discoveries, reading, and fun at MPL! 📚⛏️✨
