September, the month of NEW programming mixed in with our classics!

We, at the Mulberry Public Library, pride ourselves in being the Little Library that Could. We love our community and want to do as much for our patrons as humanly possible, but sometimes we surprise ourselves! We do more.

Now is such a time.

Since September started, we have organized many new programs that are meant to aid our patrons in their search for knowledge or make them aware of several amazing community outreaches.

There is a lot, but so we don't overwhelm you, (and us :) ) here are a few programs we are offering:

Today, September 12th at 3:30 p.m., the Polk County Sheriff's Office will be coming to the Mulberry Civic Center to teach children about Stranger Danger. Bring your children, nieces, nephews and grandchildren as deputies stress the many dangers of trusting strangers. Please sign up here at the link on the bottom of this page.

Learn Your Library for Homeschool families will be Tuesday, 10 a.m., September 16th at the Mulberry Library. Students and parents will learn how to navigate the Polk County Cooperative for books and resources that goes along with their home programs. A tour of the library and a book hunt will also be part of the events. Please sign up here at the link on the bottom of this page.

Get your costumes ready for Star Wars Reads Day October 4th!

And, of course, the classics will remain on the calendar!

Mondays at 3:30, Crafternoons have turned into Read and Craft. During the month of September Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will be read out loud by Ms. Brenna followed by an awesome craft put together by Ms. Crystal!

Tuesdays at 3:30, LEGO Club and building timeless creations will resume.

Wednesdays at 10:30, Pre-K Storytime with Ms. Crystal is a blast as usual with her puppets, story and craft.

Hello's from the New Faces!

Sofia Simpson, Library Assistant 1

Hello all! I am back! I took a two-year hiatus, but am thrilled to return to our wonderful Mulberry Library! You may remember me as the former Children's and Teen Librarian, but I am now in a different position. I am the new Assistant to our Director, here to meet different needs within this, "Little Library that Could".

I will be assisting Cheri Schisler, our Library Director, and also overseeing some new projects, such as Homeschool 101 and a Teen Advisory Board, both coming soon!

I would love to chat with both familiar and new faces, so please come in and say hello!

Brenna Hanley, Library Assistant

I'm new to the Library and to Mulberry, but I am happy to join the team and ready to go! Before coming here, I taught Language Arts in Haines City and I'm excited to bring my experience from the classroom to the library! You may see me helping Sofia and Cheri with a new Teen Advisory Board and the special events going on every month. 

I am looking forward to meeting all of the regular patrons and getting to know the community! I'm glad to make Mulberry my home!
