Two Truths and a Lie: Library Card Signup Month Edition!

It’s officially Library Card Signup Month, and we’re kicking things off with a little game! Throughout September, members of the Southern Pines Public Library staff will share two truths and one lie—and we want to see if you can figure out which one isn’t true. 👀

First up: Mary!

Take a look at her three statements and drop your guess in the comments! We’ll reveal the lie in a few days.

Think you know your librarians? Let’s find out!

Every recipe has a story... and we'd love to hear yours.

Some recipes remind us of family dinners, holiday traditions, or the people who first taught us to cook. Those memories are just as meaningful as the ingredients.

Join us for Recipes & Stories: A Community Gathering on Saturday, October 17, from 11:00 AM–12:30 PM at the Southern Pines Public Library!

Now's the perfect time to:
📖 Pick a favorite recipe to share (bring copies if you can!)
📸 Find a photo that connects to it—a handwritten recipe card, a family gathering, the finished dish, or someone who made it special.

Together, we'll swap recipes, share stories, and help create a community cookbook celebrating the flavors and memories of our neighbors.

Start looking through those recipe boxes and photo albums—we can't wait to hear your story!

Cat lovers, you showed up!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who joined us this afternoon for our TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program! We had such a great conversation about community cats, TNR, and how we can all help make a difference.

A special thank you to Feline Friends of Moore County and Zoomies Funny Farms for being such wonderful presenters and sharing your knowledge, experience, and passion with us.

We loved seeing so much interest and hearing your questions and experiences. Thank you for making this such a fun and informative afternoon!
