Story Time holds significant importance for both children and adults. For children, it serves as a vital tool for cognitive and emotional development. Engaging with stories helps to enhance language skills, expand vocabulary, and improve comprehension. It also stimulates imagination and creativity, allowing children to explore new worlds and ideas beyond their immediate environment. Additionally, Story Time often introduces moral lessons and social norms, helping young minds to understand and navigate the complexities of human behavior and relationships. We encourage you to bring your children to Story Time!

Magee: Book Club Tuesday, September 13, 12:30 pm Meeting Room In 1948, in the most stubbornly Dixiefied corner of the Jim Crow south, society matron Idella Thompson was viciously murdered in her own home: stabbed at least 150 times and left facedown in one of the bathrooms. Her daughter, Ruth Dickins, was the only other person in the house. She told authorities a Black man she didn't recognize had fled the scene, but no evidence of the man's presence was uncovered. When Dickins herself was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, the community exploded. Petitions pleading for her release were drafted, signed, and circulated, and after only six years, the governor of Mississippi granted Ruth Dickins an indefinite suspension of her sentence and she was set free.
