Hip-Hip-Pooh-ray! Today we celebrated our favorite nilly silly old bear's 100th birthday with a special storytime. There were plenty of friends, songs, and snacks. Good thing no Heffalumps or Woozles were there to eat all the honey. Thank you for helping us give Pooh the best birthday ever. đŸ»đŸŻ

Time for a six-month check-in on the Main Library Renovation. After addressing failing infrastructure issues, such as plumbing and HVAC systems, crews have moved on to framing, drywall, and painting. We love watching this project come together, and we're so excited for our community to see it too.

On this final morning of our seventy fifth summer, we were delighted to welcome the Lynchburg Public Library Bookmobile back to Camp Kum‑Ba‑Yah Nature Center. Campers at Poplar Place, Alvalaz Abode, Nuno’s Nook, and The Ridge enjoyed cooling off in the shade and air conditioning while browsing a great selection of children’s books and graphic novels. It was a perfect way to slow down and enjoy stories with friends as we close out this milestone season.

A system‑wide technical error meant that books and library cards could not be issued or checked out today. Parents of campers in our older groups may need to reassure their campers that Poplar Place did not break the Bookmobile. One camper asked this morning, and it gave everyone a good laugh.

Even with the glitch, it was still a wonderful chance to bond over favorite books and discover new titles together. Thank you to our friends Olivia and Amy from the Lynchburg Public Library for bringing this great community resource to camp and helping us end our seventy fifth summer with imagination and joy!

Have you met our newest Youth Services Librarian, Rachel? She joined us over the summer and has jumped right into leading programs. Rachel grew up in Roanoke, where she attended many children's programs at her local library. After graduating from Longwood University, she earned a master’s degree in library science from San JosĂ© State University. Besides reading, Rachel also loves music, crafts, and sharing her love of reading with others.

Make sure to say hello next time you're at the Miller Center.
