The City of Bayou La Batre Public Library has had a GREAT summer. Our state wide Summer Reading Program was Libraries Rock, and we certainly lived up to that theme.
We had The Gulf Coast Exploreum, The Southwinds Drum and Bugle Corps, Mobile Symphony, and a whole lot of fun. Our Summer Reading Challenge was a huge success with well over 600 books read over a span of seven weeks. Our top readers in alphabetical order are:
Lucas Hix
Noah Hix
Kamryn Johnson
Katie Murphree
Kelly Murphree
Ashleigh Nelson
Leah Older
Lora Older
Emily Schley
ExxonMobile, once again, sponsored a summer intern through their Community Summer Jobs
Program. Haleigh Blanchard will be missed as she soon returns to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College for her sophomore year.
We look forward to many more programs to come this year, so please stay tuned!
