Happy Mother’s Day to the women who filled our lives with stories, wisdom, and a love of reading.

From bedtime books to lifelong lessons, mothers help shape the narratives we carry with us. Today we celebrate the ones who taught us to turn the page, keep learning, and cherish every chapter.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and our latest library display is here to remind you that taking care of your mind is just as important as remembering where you left your book (we won’t judge either way).
Stop by to browse a thoughtfully curated collection of books and resources focused on mental wellness, self-care, and resilience. Whether you’re looking for insight, a fresh perspective, or just a quiet escape, there’s something here for you.

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you.” — Anne Lamott

When someone says, “can you just quickly look up the history of Grandin School,” and suddenly you’re six books deep, three tabs open, and questioning your life choices. Between tracking down dates in aging volumes and double-checking facts online, what started as a quick answer turned into a full historical investigation. On the bright side, I now know more about Grandin School than anyone who didn’t ask.

Mental Health Awareness Month is a reminder that taking care of ourselves—and one another—matters. Whether you’re thriving or just getting through the day, your feelings are valid and support is important. If you’re looking for information, encouragement, or a quiet place to reflect, resources are available, and asking for help is always a strength. Let’s keep the conversation going and make space for compassion, connection, and care. You’re not alone.

Don’t book it just yet—your library books have checked their calendars and would like to remind you they’re due back on May 8th. They’ve had a great time, but it’s time to come home. Time to close the chapter, return the book, and avoid a plot twist involving reminder emails.

Earth Day in the Ozarks is a reminder of what makes this place home – the earth speaks in running water, leaf and limestone, ridge and hollow. On this Earth Day, we honor the land that shapes our stories and steadies our roots—asking only that we listen closely and care deeply, so its beauty endures for generations still to come.
