Far Out Programs at the Pearl Public Library!

Taking it celestial September's How-To Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 6 p.m. is Painting Planets!

All you do is take acrylic painting paper, paint, Mason jar lids and, of course, a little imagination and there you have it! Galaxy art! 

If you are all about creativity and enjoying a relaxing time, this program is definitely for you!

The How-To Tuesday program, which is the third Tuesday of every month at 6 p.m., is free and all materials are supplied.  

But that's not all that's going on this week at the Pearl Library.

So, let's talk about really taking it out there OK!  

How about a dark, romantic comedy involving a 20-year-old boy and a 79-year-old woman. 

That would be Harold and Maude, the Pearl Library's September Third Thursday Flicks offering.

Harold and Maude directed by Hal Ashby was released in 1971.

A young boy named Harold Chasen (Bud Cort) is intrigued with death. He meets Maude, played by Ruth Gordon, at a funeral and develops a strong friendship with her.  Ruth teaches Harold the value of  living life to the fullest.

Far out, funny movie, on a big screen! What could possibly be better! And, it's free!  That's Thurs. Sept. 19 at 5:45. Refreshments will be served.

We'll see you there!

Painting Class at Magee Library

Need something to hang on the door for Easter?

We will be painting a Cross Door Hanger to decorate our homes for Easter!

On Friday, April 5th, The Magee Library will host a Painting Class, taught by Rhoda Benton from the Mendenhall Library. If you have ever had one of Rhoda's classes, you know she makes it fun and easy! I am a non-painter, but she taught me how to paint a circle. It was easy peasy! She will take you step by step throughout the whole process. You will be amazed how well you do.

There is a $20 supply fee per person for those who wish to paint. Registration is required. Please let us know what initial you will need to personalize your cross, so that the correct cut out can be ordered. You can register by calling the Magee Library at 601-849-3747. 

Mendenhall Library 's Upcoming Youth Programs in February

Story Time for February 2019 

     Mendenhall Library has Story Time every Thursday morning at 10 am. We love seeing our sweet preschooler's smiling faces, and their laughter is so contagious. They are always full of wonder about the theme for Story Time. Story Time is a great opportunity for preschoolers to interact with other preschoolers. We read stories, sing songs, dance, and make a craft to take home. All preschoolers are welcome to join in the fun. Here is a list of our Preschool Story Time dates and themes for February.

     February 7 theme is Dental Health Month. We are so excited that we will have a special speaker at Story Time. A local dental hygienist will explain to our preschoolers the proper way to brush their teeth, and also how important it is to do so. Below is one of the books I will read.

February 14 theme is "Will you be my Valentine?"
February 21 theme is "National Bird-Feeding Month!"
February 28 theme is "Once Upon a Time Fairy Tales!"
