Friends of the Seymour Branch Library - FOSL

Plenty of fun activities remain during the Summer Reading Program at the Seymour Library. All activities are free and open to the public. https://sevierlibrary.wordpress.com/2026/05/18/scpls-unearth-a-story-summer-reading-programs-week-2/

It is a beautiful day at the Seymour Farmer's Market. FOSL has a craft activity for today's featured produce, radishes. There are also a limited supply of free books available. The Nourish Kids tent is beside us. Children can get $5 in SNAP Benefits to spend on produce at the market. Hope to see you here.

As you can see from this snippet the young ones were very engaged by the actors of Bright Star Theatre. You can keep young minds active and growing by participating in the numerous activities available during the Summer Reading Program. Week 2 is coming up and has a lot in store. Check out the schedule here: https://sevierlibrary.wordpress.com/2026/05/18/scpls-unearth-a-story-summer-reading-programs-week-2/

Bright Star Theatre What a treat to have Bright Star Theatre back as a special event at...

Summer Reading and Summer Feeding Programs are both underway at the Seymour Library. Come by and ask the staff how your young ones can take part in these free activities.

Well, here's a challenge! Come and share your effort at the Adult Puzzle Table.

Ms. Rachel and the library staff are thrilled to present and celebrate Elianna and Luke, our latest achievers of the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program!

Both have successfully completed the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten early literacy challenge! Families play a crucial role in supporting these literacy initiatives for children, and we are always excited to meet and honor the remarkable kids and their families who achieve such impressive reading milestones.

Why does this challenge matter?
The “1,000 Books Before Kindergarten” challenge is a fantastic way to prepare your child for school. By reading just one book each day, you can achieve this goal in less than three years. Remember, every story—even those cherished favorites—counts toward your total!

On Saturday, June 6, FOSL will be at opening day of the Seymour Farmers Market, TN. We will be assisting with the Nourish Kids Program and will have fun things for the young ones to do. The market opens at 8 am and ends at noon. We hope to see you there!

Look at this beautiful romaine lettuce. It is growing in the community garden by the gazebo at Seymour branch library. You are welcome to cut off a head or two for your personal use for free. Enjoy it now before it starts to bolt as it warms up come June. This garden is maintained by Seymour Farmers Market
