“UNEARTH A STORY”
AT FIRST REGIONAL LIBRARY THIS SUMMER
First Regional Library invites everyone to participate in summer fun with our 2026 Summer Reading Program! All 14 branches of FRL will have programs and events for all ages this summer. Inspired by the national summer library theme, “Unearth A Story,” many activities will be centered around the themes of dinosaurs, fossils, archeology and more! In conjunction with the nationwide initiative “America 250”, many programs will also focus on various aspects of local and American history.
Featured activities include Magic Mr. Nick’s Dinosaur Crew and “Turtle Time with Central Mississippi Turtle Rescue”. Both of these programs will be featured at every branch of FRL this summer. Libraries will also have arts and crafts programs for all ages, puppet shows, foam parties, live animal presentations and more.
In addition, families are invited to participate in the Summer Reading Challenge—commit to read every day this summer! Studies show that students who read during the summer maintain or improve on their reading levels, avoiding what is known as the “summer slide.”
The Summer Reading Program runs June-July.
