Trixie the Triceratops went home with a loving family today! Julianna was very excited to be the first one at the library to ask for Trixie. :) To quote her, "We had to dart here to be the first ones!"

If you missed out, there are mini dinosaurs hidden in the shelves each day that are also looking to be adopted. Also, there will be a post on our Facebook each week (different time/day) with an opportunity to adopt a larger dinosaur!

This is a super event! Well done, United Way of Northwest Florida!

Local organizations are collecting donations so that every child can play sports, no matter the cost of the equipment.

United Way of Northwest Florida and Coastal Waste & Recycling are asking the community to donate gently used sports items for their annual Play it Forward event.

As this school year comes to a close, it will take us a bit to "crunch the numbers" on our efforts. But...one thing is crystal clear...our Team FLOW volunteers are amazing. To each and every one of you, thank you...thank you...THANK YOU for your support, your time, your effort, and your kindness to our young readers.❤️📚

And just like that, our very last after-school visit to Panama City A.S.A.P., is in the books! It's always a delight to spend time with Miss Terri and her youngsters. We'll be back next year. Thank you, Team FLOW (Connie & Roger Leete, Jasmine Foster and Sandra Pierce) for all you do! ❤️📚

Take part in the art! Kids that visit Youth Services this week, May 18 - 23, can color a dinosaur that will be displayed all summer as part of our collaborative art project. This activity is best suited for kids in K-6th grade, but older kids are welcome to participate as well.

For more information, ask staff at the Youth Services desk!
