Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;

Lengthen night and shorten day;

Every leaf speaks bliss to me

Fluttering from the autumn tree.

I shall smile when wreaths of snow

Blossom where the rose should grow;

I shall sing when night’s decay

Ushers in a drearier day.

                          -----     Emily Brontë

After a wonderful summer, we're easing into August. It's the perfect time to visit the library!

Also, you won't want to miss the American Voices Exhibit coming to the Bibb-White Bluff Civic Center on August 5.

 

    ✨ We've got a lot of fun things planned for July! We've also added "Read, Play & Sing" on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. It's especially for little learners (0-5).

     ✨ If you haven't signed your readers up for our Summer Reading program, it's not too late. We love to reward children who read!

We hope you'll join us this summer!

 

☀️ Summer fun is here at the Jennie Woodworth Library! 📚

    Join us for a summer full of reading, prizes, storytimes, and special programs for all ages! Young readers can participate in our Read & Bead Challenge, and adults can join our Reading Bingo Challenge.

Take a look at our June calendar and come be part of the fun!

“And what does January hold? Clean account books. Bare diaries. Three hundred and sixty-five new days, neatly parceled into weeks, months, seasons.  A chunk of time, of life, waiting to be filled…those first notes like an orchestra tuning up before the play begins!” — Phyllis Nicholson

 

• “At Christmas, play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year.” — Thomas Tusser

 

"Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul." - Henry Ward Beecher
