Businesses and organizations: We invite you to be part of our Christmas Gala!

West Plains Public Library Foundation Board is encouraging local businesses and organizations to participate in this year's Christmas Gala by sponsoring and decorating a Christmas tree. The cost to participate is $100, and every dollar raised will support improvements and projects at West Plains Public Library, including new furniture and facility enhancements, as well as high-quality, free educational programs for our community.

Tree decorating will begin the week before Thanksgiving, giving everyone plenty of time to bring their holiday creativity to the library!

This is a wonderful opportunity to support your community, showcase your organization, and help make the library an even better place for everyone. We hope you'll join us!

👀 WHEN JAMES PATTERSON SAYS HE’S WATCHING YOU… HE MEANS IT.

We thought we’d take a few pictures of our James Patterson collection… but apparently, James had other plans. 😂

He’s watching you browse.
He’s watching you choose.
And he’s probably wondering why you haven’t checked out another one yet!

With this many thrillers on the shelves, we’re not saying there’s a plot twist around every corner… but we’re also not saying there isn’t.

Come see what all the suspense is about at West Plains Public Library! We have 38 of his titles on the shelf and can get more, if you’d like, thanks to Missouri Evergreen. Our patrons have 3.5 million resources at their fingertips thanks to this incredible consortium we belong to!

📚 James Patterson: We have questions. He has alibis.
