Summer Reading continues at the Millard Oakley Library with Story Time on Wednesday and Thursday at 10:30. On June 23, Frock from Tennessee Fish and Wildlife will be here at 1:00 to talk with our readers. Overton County schools will continue to provide lunch through the month of June. The Overton County Farm Bureau will be here on June 30 to help celebrate Dairy Month. Summer Reading Story Time will continue until July 14, with lunch provided in July by Save the Children and the library staff.
Even if your child is unable to attend our story time, there are still ways they can participate and win prizes. Our 100 Days of Reading, sponsored by Save the Children, continues. With every reading log they turn in, they win a prize as well as an entry into our end of the summer Grand prize drawings. We are also playing Reading Bingo, where they can win a free ice cream from Dairy Queen, a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut, and a free pass to the Livingston pool. Stop by the library any time we are open for more information.
The library will be closed on Monday, July 4, for Independence Day.
The Millard Oakley Public Library Board will meet on July 19 at 4:30.
