Barnsdall Public Library The Library They put together a library system with donated books and the Barnsdall Public Library was founded.

The exact date of the organizing of the Barnsdall Library has been lost with the passing of time, however it is believed that in the early 1930's the Business and Professional Women's Club members took note of the lack of a library in Barnsdall. In 1962 the library was named the Ethel Briggs Memorial Library in honor of a beloved teacher who served the children of Barnsdall for years.

9/11 was a frightening and heartbreaking time for our country. But in the midst of all that fear and uncertainty, there were also incredible stories of kindness, compassion, and people coming together to help one another.

📚 The Day the World Came to Town by Jim DeFede tells one of those stories.

When the United States closed its airspace following the attacks of September 11, 2001, 38 planes carrying nearly 7,000 passengers were forced to land unexpectedly in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. What happened next was an incredible story of strangers opening their homes, schools, kitchens, and hearts to people from around the world.

A beautiful reminder that even in the darkest times, there is still good in the world.

🦁🐍 What a fantastic finish to our Summer Reading Program! 🐢🦉

Today we wrapped up our final summer program with an amazing presentation from the Tulsa Zoo: Amazing Adaptations!
Our kids learned how animals have special adaptations that help them survive in the wild and they even got to meet an incredible ambassador animal up close!

A huge thank you to the Tulsa Zoo staff for sharing their knowledge and bringing their program to Barnsdall. We also want to thank everyone who attended our summer programs this year. Your enthusiasm, curiosity, and love of reading made this summer so much fun!

We hope you continue to read, explore, and discover all year long. 📚❤️

Today's Summer Reading Program was all about bunnies! 🐰📚

Ms. Dotti shared some wonderful bunny stories, and we learned fun facts from our friend Presley about her rabbits, including what kind of bunnies she has, what they eat, and where they live. The kids had a great time listening, learning, and participating in the discussion.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for another fun week of our Unearth a Story Summer Reading Program! We can't wait to see everyone next Thursday when some animals from the Tulsa Zoo come to visit.

Reminder: Our own Ms. Dotti will be doing story time this week. You don't want to miss it!

We had a fantastic time hosting another fun program today. The George Miksch Sutton Avian Research Center presented an engaging program all about birds and their importance in our world.

The highlight of the day was meeting Scout the Falcon! The kids loved seeing this amazing bird up close and learning about falcons, their habitats, and how researchers help protect them.
