Is it SPRING yet??

We know you are sick and tired of this cold weather in our usually sunshine-y state. We also know a great way to break those winter blues! Come down to the library and check out everything we have to offer. We've said it before and we'll say it again: We've got hundreds of DVD's, the newest bestsellers, public internet usage, wireless internet, a newly revamped teen room, and a wonderful space for children. A library card is free and you are able to use it at ANY Polk County library location! That's fantastic!

We have some events coming up this month and in March. On February 27th at 11:00am, the annual Belk Fashion Show will be taking place at the American Legion here in Mulberry, Florida. Tickets are $10.00 in advance and you should RSVP by February 20th. Call 425-0644 or 425-2638 if you wish to attend. Proceeds will benefit the Friends of the Mulberry Library so we hope to see all of our patrons there! One of our own librarians will be walking the runway!

March 2nd is Read Across America Day! So, come down, pick out a book, and celebrate a much loved past time!

March is National Women's History Month. Take time out to learn about famous women in American History and all that they have done for our country and women as a whole. Celebrate their achievements by reading a biography, researching them on the internet, or reading through a reference book. We have several research outlets available at our library and we would be happy to point you the in the right direction!

March 7-13 is Teen Tech Week. We are starting to plan the activities for this now! Some of the fun may include a movie night, an introductory class to a fun photo program, and several other awesome programs for our teens! Keep checking back for more updates!
