The in-person programs for Blackmur Memorial Library’s Summer Program may have ended, but we’re continuing the fun with a brand new activity for the month of July - Summer Reading Bingo.

Sponsored by the Friends of Blackmur Library, Summer Reading Bingo is open for all children 17 and under and offers prizes for children who complete activities listed on the Bingo card. Some of the activities include reading a book with a color in the title, reading outside, visiting an art gallery or museum or getting a library card.

When a child completes a row, column or diagonal on the game card, they can bring it by the library between July 28 and August 1st to chose among the prizes donated by a number of locals and individuals.

Parents can come by the library and sign up their children for the game and pick up their Bingo cards. Library hours are Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m..

If you have any questions about our Summer Reading Bingo or any other library programs, please contact us at 662-473-2444 pr [email protected].

Blackmur Library's Summer program begins this week!

We've got a lot of fun activities planned for our Color Our World Summer Library Program starting this Thursday. This week we'll be repurposing old books to make and decorate pennants and banners. We'll also have a "blind drawing" game and each child attending will receive a sketch book they can fill with their own art, poetry, journaling or whatever they like.

Each week, children attending will also be entered into a drawing to be held after the last program in June for the chance to win a prize sponsored by the Friends of Blackmur Library. Parents and guardians who bring their kids to the program can also enter a drawing sponsored by the Friends for a gift basket.

Stop by the library and register your child today or use the form in the comments below. The program is for children ages 7-12 and will start at 2 p.m. each Thursday in June. Each session will last between and hour and an hour and a half.

For younger children, we'll have a story time immediately following each program. No registration s required for story time.
