🎃 **A Little Creativity and Career Exploration at MLCPL!** 🚑

We had a fun-filled Thursday at the library yesterday!

🎨 Our K–5th graders got into the fall spirit by creating their very own mini pumpkin crafts! Each one was a little different, and we loved seeing their creativity shine!

🚑 Meanwhile, our 6th–12th graders welcomed **Metro Ambulance** for our Career Connections program! Teens had the opportunity to learn more about emergency medical services and the important work of those who serve our community.

❤️ A special THANK YOU to **Sam and Michelle from Metro Ambulance** for taking time out of their busy schedules to visit with our teens, share their knowledge, and introduce them to the world of EMS! We truly appreciate your willingness to help our young people explore future career possibilities.

From creative little hands to exploring future careers, there's always something happening at MLCPL! 📚✨

What a wonderful Monday morning we had at the library!

We had the pleasure of welcoming Alana Broughton, Executive Director of the Jimmie Rodgers Foundation, as part of our Musician Spotlight series. From sharing the fascinating stories behind Meridian's very own Jimmie Rodgers to bringing his musical legacy to life through song, Alana made this such a special experience for everyone in attendance! 🎤🎹

❤️ We want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to Alana for sharing her incredible talent, time, and knowledge with us. Her passion for music and dedication to keeping Jimmie Rodgers' story alive are truly something special. We couldn't be more grateful that she took the time to share both with our library and community.

And to everyone who joined us, thank you for spending your Monday morning with us!

🎵 Here's a little glimpse of the talent we were lucky enough to experience!
