🌿🌎 April is Ecosystem Month at Woolmarket Library! 🐝🐢

Join Woolmarket Library all month long as they celebrate the natural world and explore how we can help protect it! They will be hosting two special Saturday programs, their regular storytimes, and Wednesday movie showings at 3 PM featuring earth science films—all centered around the conservation of natural habitats. Even more activities may be added, so stay tuned and help us spread the word!

🐢 Up first: Whisper of Hope will introduce us to their amazing gopher tortoises! These fascinating creatures play a vital role in keeping our piney woods ecosystems healthy—and you’ll even get the chance to see one up close.

🐝 Next: Local beekeeper Ryan Frazier (just two miles from the library!) will share insights into the world of beekeeping and explain how bees—and the people who care for them—help support thriving ecosystems.

Come learn, explore, and celebrate the environment with them this April! 🌱

Attention, Collectors!

We’ve been gifted a beautiful collection of Heritage Press special edition books, now available for purchase at the Margaret S. Sherry Memorial Library!

Heritage Press editions are beloved by book lovers for their high-quality craftsmanship — featuring sturdy bindings, elegant typography, and often unique illustrations or decorative touches. Many were designed to be both readable classics and display-worthy keepsakes, making them favorites among collectors.

These volumes are offered at special vintage book pricing, similar to the treasures at the Biloxi Library book sale. It’s a wonderful chance to discover a classic for your shelf while supporting your Biloxi Libraries at the same time.

Stop by, browse, and uncover your next literary treasure!
