Rolling into the New Year Strong at the Pearl Public Library!

So, you would think with the busy programming year the Pearl Public Library had in 2018, there would be some down time and uh, just chillin' out right now. Right? 

NOT!

Well, actually there is some chillin' going on, just not that kind of chillin'! No, this is the brrr kind of chillin'.  It's cold themed programs. However, it would be nice if the temperature would straighten out and act like it's winter time! LOL!  

Already underway is the Snuggle Up and Read adult program. All you have to do is write a book review for every book you snuggle up with. Every book review is a chance to win a throw blanket and hot chocolate basket. The drawing will be held on Fri. Feb. 1.

Please mark you calendars!  Here comes the biggie! As February is Library Lover's Month, the Pearl Library is second to none in showing the community some good lovin'! 

It's the patron favorite Come in From the Cold With a Good Book on Wed. Feb. 13 and Thurs. Feb. 14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day! This is the eleventh year for the event when patrons are treated to free cookies, donuts and coffee all generously donated by area businesses. 

Community Coffee, the Donut Factory, Dunkin' Donuts, That Special Touch Bakery, Sam's Club of Pearl, Wal-Mart of Pearl and Simply Southern Cafe and Grill in Flowood help out every year to make this event spectacular! The program is also sponsored by the Friends of the Pearl Library. Volunteers will be on hand to answer any questions about the Friends' group. Registration forms to become a Friends' member will be available.  

You really don't want to miss this! What a great time to bring your family and friends, sit in the little, sweet cafe the Pearl Library creates and just enjoy the free treats and fellowship!

We'll see you there!

Brr....Baby It's Cold Outside.

But there's plenty of warm and cozy going on at the Pearl Public Library? 
For starters, Amy has hooked you up with Snuggle Up and Read for two whole months! Whoa! This wonderful, adult program should put some fire into your reading! Read any books you like. Write a short book review for each book. Each book review is an entry 
into a drawing for a cozy throw and hot chocolate basket to be held on Wednesday, Feb. 1. Now, that's pretty darn classy!!!

Bet ya feelin' a little toasty already!!!!  Well, there's more... It's the season for all things magical and bright, and Patsy, the Chapter 1 Book Club leader, has just the right thing. A Season of Angels by Debbie Macomber is the December selection.  That's Tuesday, Dec. 13 at 6 p.m. There will be light refreshments and door prizes. You don't have to be a member and no registration required for this free adult program.

What's the holidays without decorations?! No way! Bring on the decorations! And, that's what Amy has selected as her December Simply Crafts offering for Thursday December 15 at 6 p.m. ! No registration required and all materials are supplied! Beautiful Mason Jar Lid Tree Ornaments! Simply made ornaments can't be beat!
