Spelling THANKS Could Not Be More Fun!

That's why you should not miss the November How-To Tuesday  - or any program this month - at the Pearl Public Library!

Make your own Tin Punched Votive Candle on Tues. Nov. 19 at 6 p.m. 

Kayla has worked very hard putting this wonderful craft together for everyone to enjoy!  Which means she's eaten a lot of SOUP too! LOL! 

It's a FREE adult craft program. No reservation needed and all materials supplied. Remember How-To Tuesday is every third Thursday of the month at 6 p.m.

WOW! Making this Tin Punched Votive Candle sounds like a cool craft trip!

Hey, while we are tripping hahahah, come by the Pearl Library on Thurs. Nov. 21 at 6 p.m. for a really funny ride! One of the best Thanksgiving movies ever!

Yep! A good trip is what Neal Page (played by Steve Martin), a classy executive, had in mind in Planes, Trains and Automobiles! But, what he got instead was complete chaos as he was thrown together with Del Griffith (John Candy), a bumbling shower curtain ring salesman, in this ultimate Thanksgiving film!

These two totally different men, not to mention complete strangers, encounter some hilarious, and some quite infuriating situations! 

But as life shows us oftentimes things are not as they seem. That's what makes the ending of this wonderful movie absolutely perfect for Thanksgiving! Just magical!




Ben will be showing it on the big screen at the Pearl Library for his November Third Thursday Flicks on Thurs. Nov. 21 at 6 p.m. He'll be serving refreshments too! 

FREE entertainment! Now, that's something to be thankful for!

Don't miss out!

We'll see you there!

Save the date! HECK, save the whole month on your calendar because November will be worth it at the Pearl Public Library!

First of all, there's Thankful for the Library, a free adult program that comes with, not A CHANCE to win, but two chances to win a $25 Wal-mart gift card! That's right. The Pearl Walmart Supercenter donated two $25 gift cards.  What do you have to do to? Glad ya asked!

Adult patrons fill out an entry telling why they are thankful for the library. Their names get put into a drawing to be held Mon. Nov. 30.  How easy is that?! There will be two winners!

That's not all! Also in November there will be a massive book sale! You win big there on all the great deals! The two-day book sale is Fri. Nov. 6 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sat., Nov. 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  It's sponsored by the Friends of the Pearl Library! All proceeds benefit the Friends group.

Well, that's all the November highlights folks....NOOOOOT!  Uh-uh!!! How about during a season full of Thanksgiving, you learn a little history about some of the characters who were present from the very beginning of this season of grace and peace. Not pilgrams.... Yep, we are talking Native Americans.  The Pearl Library has a special program on tap.

On Tues. Nov. 10 at 6 p.m., the Mississippi Department of Archives and History will present this free, adult program, Natchez Indian Mythology and Folklore. So, come in and learn about the Natchez Indians.

There's so much going on in November at the library, how could you not come by?! Don't miss out!

We'll see you there!
