Last night at Belt Branch the CreateSpace was full as Shelly Haynes, St. Joseph Museums, presented "Butterflies and Moths". Participants learned how to identify families of butterflies and caterpillars in Missouri, got interesting facts about local varieties, and practiced some scientific names for those highlighted. Kids and adults folded origami butterflies and created butterfly luminaries to light up their homes - with flameless candles, of course! Missed the program? It will be offered again at Savannah Branch on August 27, 5:30pm, and registration is currently open.

Cool weather is in the forecast for next week, so come on out for another evening of local musical and literary talent.

It's election day in Missouri! Readers are voters, so don't forget to vote today for primary candidates and for local and state ballot issues.

Thank you Whitney for bringing your school bus collection to the Savannah Branch.

The deadline is less than a year away. Make sure you have the right ID to travel.

While the Belt Branch families were celebrating the Summer Reading Party with a petting zoo earlier on Monday (July 29), the Savannah Branch families closed out another SRP later in the day with a foam party on the library's patio. A good time was had by most all.

Families braved the rising temperature Monday (July 29) to visit the Orrick Acres Petting Zoo in the Bookmobile garage at the Belt Branch. All ages had fun seeing the variety of animals, which, of course, enjoyed being fed by the crowd. This was the Belt's last big Monday event of the Summer Reading Program.

Our musical library staff members, Jennifer and Hans, will lead you through the process of learning to play this small and fun instrument. We have a limited number of library ukes, so please bring your own if you have one. Registration is not needed for this class.

As the sun continued its track toward nighttime on Thursday evening (July 25), members of Pyro Flow lit up the Belt Branch parking lot.

In case you forgot or didn't see it on the SRP calendar, Pyro Flow will perform at 8 p.m. today (Thursday, July 25) in the Belt Branch parking lot. They will light up your night!
