If you've been waiting (sooo patiently) for the eggs at the library to hatch, today is the day! Six little ones have made it out into the world so far and more are following. Stop by to say hello, learn about how the chicks developed in their eggs, and maybe pick up a book or two while you're there!

Do you need to get some more movement in your life? Take SAIL at the library! Staying Active and Independent for Life (SAIL) is a fitness program for older adults which can be done sitting or standing. Performing exercise that improves strength, balance and fitness is critical for staying active and reducing the risk of falls. Each class includes warm-up, stretching, cardio, balance, and strengthening exercise, as well as a cool down. To register, visit https://library-connect.services.pioneerlibrarysystem.org/patron/events or call the library at 405.527.5546.

Stay safe, stay cozy, and don't forget the library has downloadable ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, movies, craft tutorials - whatever you need to make it through the snowy weekend!

All PLS locations will be closed Saturday, January 24, due to inclement weather.

We love the Dolly Parton Imagination Library! Sign up your favorite kiddos under the age of five, and plan to come celebrate Dolly's birthday on January 19 with a special story time!

🥳 On this wonderful Wednesday, we are excited to share the Dolly Parton Imagination Library's impact in Oklahoma, with the news that 1,052,708 books have been distributed statewide!

Let's increase the opportunities to put books in the hands of young learners, and sign them up before Dolly's 80th birthday on January 19th!
