Celebrating Youth Creativity All Month At The Pearl Public Library!

March is National Youth Art Month.

We take that very seriously at the Pearl Public Library!

This is the twelfth year that the library has invited Pearl School District students to canvass the library with their wonderful creations!

Below are just a few of the displayed art pieces these talented students of all ages have created!

The art stays up all month long for viewing during library hours.  Please do yourself a favor and come take a look!  The heart and soul all these students poured into their work is awesomely inspiring! 

Mark your calendar! On Monday, March 23 from 5:30 to 7:00 the library and the Friends of the Pearl Library, will host an official youth art exhibit night complete with a reception! It's free and ALL are invited!

Don't miss out! 

And don't miss out on BINGO FOR BOOKS on Thursday. March 12 at 6 p.m. It's a free program with a chance to win books, dvds and video games. Light refreshments are provided. Remember that BINGO FOR BOOKS is every second Thursday of the month!

Hey, it's time for a BALLOON REPORT!

Just so you know, the renegade balloon that deserted the pack on Friday, Feb. 14 is still hugging the ceiling. But don't you worry. That bad boy is traveling. It started out right above the circulation desk. It's coming down the other direction toward reference! We are watching it to see when it will make the great descent! LOL!

Come on in! See the art and check out the floating action!

We'll see you there!

Last but not least by a long shot. March is National Youth Art Month and the Pearl Public Library has celebrated it in a huge way for over 10 years! This will be the eleventh year that students from the Pearl Public School District will canvass the library with their amazing art creations for viewing the entire month of March. On March 21 at 5 p.m. everyone is invited to a reception, sponsored by the Friends of the Pearl Library.

By the way, Lisa says that Team Tungsten Robotics is pleased to report that the Blessing Box is being utilized frequently, helping many members of the Pearl Community.  "If you find that you are able to give, our box is in need of canned and boxed food items," she said. "We are so grateful to have a wonderful community that provides support for those in need."

Thank you, Lisa and Team Tungsten!

A Reading Challenge You Don't Want to Miss! It Will Make Your Life More Than Bliss!

“Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!”

OK! QUICK! What's the above quote from? 

You guessed it. Happy Birthday to You! by Dr. Seuss (1959).

Hey, I bet you are a good reader. Then why not join the Pearl Public Library's celebration of the National Education Association's Read Across America Day which occurs each year on or near Dr. Seuss' birthday (March 2).   

The really good news is that the Pearl Library's celebration runs all month long starting today!  Amy, adult programming, and Kristen, teen programming, have joined forces to put on this challenge to see who reads the most books. 

This is a wonderful time for the whole family to join in the READING celebration! Throughout the month tell what great read you recently enjoyed and be entered into a FREE drawing to win. The prize is a gift certificate to Bay Window Books in Brandon and an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen Grill and Chill in Pearl! The drawing is April 2. 

While you are here, take a look at all the creative art from students of the Pearl School District.  This is the 10th year that the Pearl Library has celebrated National Youth Art Month by canvassing the library with the students' art for the entire month of March. On Thurs. March 29, there is a free reception for all sponsored by the Friends of the Pearl Library from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
