If you are joining the Walker Community Betterment Association’s ‘Final Friday’ in the park tonight, please stop by our free lending library and pick up a book (or two) for some last minute summer reading, a good bedtime story, or if you have been thinking you need to learn to juggle!! (IYKYK)

For the August gathering, we are supporting a “Live a Great Story” initiative…..encouraging everyone to make mental health and wellness a priority. We have stickers, magnets, cards and swag, promoting free mental health resources, fentynal awareness, and ways you can help anyone who might be struggling!!

It’s not a common thing, but a few months ago, a neighbor gifted us some books their child had received from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program. Initially launched in 1995…..the program, today, spans five countries, has 3.1 million kids registered and has gifted more than 332 million books!!

Inspired by her father’s inability to read and write, Dolly’s vision was to foster a love of reading among preschool children and their families by gifting books free of charge, from birth to age five!

Today, we join the millions who are mourning the passing of one of literacy’s greatest advocates, while we remember her incredible life and legacy!!

We are so grateful to have the support of our neighbors and community! Thank you to everyone who visits, donates and shares our LFL. We love that our selections are diverse, fun, and popular!!

Now..................about the Juggling for the Complete Klutz. Did you donate it because you mastered the art of juggling???? And - is there a beginner level below klutz I can start at? 🤹‍♀️😄📖

The Walker Missouri Lending Library has a nice selection of books to meet the interest of a variety of readers. Just a quick look into the library today, readers can choose a large print puzzle book, a New York Times Best Selling author, a Seseme Street children's classic story and even a how to book for readers wanting to develop their juggling skills. We are thankful to have this wonderful resource in our community and appreciative of those who support the library by donating books, help to maintain the library and readers who support by visiting and borrowing books!. The Library is located on the southeast corner of the Walker City Park downtown,

Thanks to our wonderful community volunteers our city park transition is underway! Volunteers have begun the physical phase of transitioning the courts in the park to a multi-purpose surface to include pickleball courts. We are appreciative of all who have a hand in the project from securing funding, designing, organizing volunteers and construction to improve the park area for our community! As a reminder for our residents, the court area will be out of commission for a short time while the construction phase is ongoing.

Our "Thankful Thursday" post for today!!

We are incredibly blessed to have the support of friends, neighbors and communities who care for, and look after our library! Today, we are especially grateful for the people who stop by and donate books, who keep a watchful eye and straighten and tidy the box when it needs it, who like and share our posts, who bring visitors and encourage our young (and older) readers!!

I truly didn't know what to expect when we first took on stewarding the old library box - to see that people are supporting and enjoying it makes me smile!!!

Thank you!!!!
