A look back at October in the Children's Department!

What a month! October was filled with messy crafts, fun movies, wonderful special guests, and, of course, our big Halloween celebration!

We'd like to give a special thank-you to some fantastic community friends who helped make this month so memorable. Ashley from Forrest Health, who joined Ash for a special storytime and taught parents important, potentially life-saving child CPR techniques. Chick-fil-A Hattiesburg who surprised our Storytime crowd with a visit from Baby Cow, and The Hub City Garden Club, who taught us why leaves change color in the fall and helped us turn a little bit of nature into beautiful handmade bookmarks!

And, as always, a big thank-you goes to our little patrons and the grown-ups who bring them through our doors. Thank you for showing up, getting messy, being curious, and letting us be a little part of your childhood. It's a privilege we don't take lightly.

We hope everyone has a wonderful, safe, and spooky weekend! Happy Halloween!
