Library News
By AMANDA GRANTHAM BRANCH MANAGER

Spring has arrived, and the warmer weather is here. It’s a great time to visit our storywalk at Eufaula Cove. Take a walk along the water’s edge and read the story! After you have read the story, visit the library and tell one of our friendly staff members the secret word to receive a prize. The storywalk is maintained by the Friends of Eufaula Memorial Library. We are grateful for their support.

We have Storytime every Thursday at 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Sto-rytime is for ages 0-5. They will have a book read to them and do a craft or activity. This provides children with social interaction with others and prepares them for school. Join us for the fun!

On Monday, May 19, the adult craft is decoupaging letters. This program is at 5:15 p.m. You must register for this event by May 5 by going to eols.org/events.

Thursday, May 15 at 2 p.m. book club for adults meets to discuss the book All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whiteaker. You can pick up a copy at the front desk. It is also available on the Hoopla and Libby apps. Don’t have a chance to read the book? You are still invited to come for a good discussion, a light snack, and get a copy of the next book.

The Friends of Eufaula Memorial Library (FEML) are looking for new members to join and continue to help build the library. The next meeting is Friday, May 16, at 1 p.m. Michelle Marston from the OSU extension office will present on how OHCE helps the communities in McIntosh County. Contact President Gail Rose at member. FEML@gmail.com to join.

Please visit and follow us on Facebook or visit our website at eols.org/ eufaula for other events and activities.

Amanda Grantham is the branch manager of Eufaula Memorial Library, a branch of the Eastern Oklahoma Library System.
