2023 Vision Board Party
Our Vision Board Party was lots of fun! We enjoyed chatting with new and old friends as we mapped out what this year will look like for us individually. We encouraged participants to hang their vision boards up at home so they get a constant reminder all year long!
If you were I’m interested in creating a vision board but couldn’t make the party, stop by the library to pick up a poster board and a couple magazines!

Happy Halloween!
Around three hundred children, adults, volunteers & vendors hung out with us at our “Trunk or Treat!” Our DJ had us jamming out to a few Halloween staples, popcorn was steadily popping, the vendors had the candy rolling, our Fire Marshall read a couple stories, we went on a bear hunt, but the 360 Photo Booth stole the show.
Congratulations to our winners for the Mummy Tournament and the winners for Best Trunk & Best Costumes!

We learned how important it is to pay attention to your body, having a support system and being willing to tell your story to others during our Breast Cancer Awareness Celebration. Nurses from Alcorn School of Nursing administered health checks and our DJ had us dancing to some classics.
Patrons were able to add their loved ones who may be battling with Breast Cancer or who have lost their fight to this illness to our display in the foyer of the library.
Teen Author Visit

Teen Author Visit
Teen Author, Avery Merino visited the Armstrong Library and we heard the very first reading “The Beagle Bros” read by Mark Grandinetti. The Beagle Bros are based on Avery’s dogs, Frodo & Sam!
A Q&A session followed the reading and we learned more about Avery’s journey of being an author.
Afterwards, we enjoyed a craft created by Avery, his mother & brother. They made puzzles out of Frodo & Sam for our kids to piece together.

The Natchez Festival of Music hosted a One Act Opera, The Three Little Pigs. Students from the University of Southern Mississippi were among the cast portraying the story of the Three Little Pigs. We all know the story, but this one had a special theme as it encouraged kids to go to the library. The third pig's house didn't fall down because she went to the library to read and learned the best way to build a house.
