🐦‍⬛ ONCE UPON A MID-AFTERNOON… 🐦‍⬛

Teens & tweens, prepare yourselves for an afternoon of Poe, poetry & potions! 🖤📖🥤

Join Miss Julie tomorrow at 3:30 PM for a delightfully spooky TeenTober celebration featuring the wonderfully macabre Edgar Allan Poe!

We’ll read a few of Poe’s poems, then brew up some “dirty” soda with a whole assortment of flavorings. Think of it as a little literary alchemy…minus the mysterious laboratory. 😉

And if you write poetry, bring it along! We’d love to hear your words, whether they’re spooky, silly, strange, heartfelt—or all of the above.

Come wander into the darker side of literature with us. The library doors are open…if you dare. 🐦‍⬛🖤

📚❤️ IT’S BANNED BOOKS WEEK! ❤️📚

Here at the Idabel Public Library, we believe in something pretty simple: people should have the freedom to read.

Books open doors. They introduce us to people and places we may never encounter otherwise. They challenge us, teach us, make us laugh, make us think, and sometimes help us see the world through someone else’s eyes.

And that’s why libraries matter.

Our job isn’t to tell you what you should read. Our job is to make sure you have the opportunity to explore, discover, question, and choose for yourself.

So this Banned Books Week, we’re celebrating the freedom to read—and the wonderfully messy, curious, sometimes surprising world of books. 📖✨

Come on in, find something that catches your eye, and exercise that freedom!

Read widely. Read boldly. Read for yourself. ❤️📚

🌞 Good morning, neighbors! It’s WEDNESDAY… and you know what that means!

📚🎉 TYKES TALES STORYTIME DAY!!! 🎉📚

Round up those little bookworms and bring ’em to the library at 10:00 a.m. for a story, a fun craft, plenty of giggles, and a whole lot of learning disguised as FUN! 😉

We just love Wednesdays around here. There’s nothing quite like hearing the library filled with little voices, big imaginations, and the sound of children having a grand old time.

So come on, y’all! Mrs. Sherri is ready, the stories are waiting, and we’ve got some giggles to get started! ❤️📖✨

See you at 10:00!

🏠📐 CREATION STATION: BUILD IT, ROLL IT, TEST IT! 🔬

Can you build a paper house strong enough to stand while YOU sit inside it? Challenge accepted! 💪😂

This afternoon, our young engineers will use paper and tape to build a structure that can support its own weight. The secret? ROLL THAT PAPER! Rolled paper forms strong columns that resist bending and help distribute weight.

It’s STEM in action—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math—all wrapped up in a fun, hands-on challenge! Kids will experiment, solve problems, test their designs, and discover that sometimes the simplest trick makes the biggest difference.

📍 This afternoon at 4:00 at the Idabel Public Library! Come build something amazing with us! 🏗️

🚨 LOOK OUT, Y’ALL… OUR S.A.I.L. CLASS IS GROWING! 🚨

And honey, THAT’S what we like to see! 💪💜

Here’s the beauty of S.A.I.L.: you move at YOUR pace and YOUR comfort level. Need to exercise from a chair? Have at it! Want to stand and move? Go for it! The important thing is that you’re moving—and nobody is standing over you with a stopwatch. 😉

No boot camp. No “no pain, no gain.” No pressure to keep up with anybody else. Just good folks, good encouragement, and a chance to do something good for YOU.

📅 Tuesdays & Thursdays
⏰ 10:00 a.m.
📍 Idabel Public Library

Come on in, pull up a chair (literally, if you need one!), and S.A.I.L. with us! ❤️

10/06/2026

The next S.A.I.L. class starts in 20 minutes here at the Idabel Public Library. Come join Miss Hannah to get those muscles warmed up and that blood flowing. We look forward to seeing you! And remember, this is absolutely FREE to everyone who wants to join.
