******** School will soon be out! If your child is given a summer reading list, please share it with library staff. The sooner we can help your student get the books they need, the better. Some titles can be found as free eBooks and staff can help you find them. Other titles may be on other school's summer reading list, which means library copies are first come, first served. This makes waiting lists quite long; so please share with staff as soon as possible. ********

Reservoir Library is proud to present a Sensory-Enhanced Story Time. This is a program designed for all ages who have sensory processing disorders and is presented at a preschool level of development. The purpose of the story time is to offer a modified experience that our audience will benefit from. Parents, guardians, or caretakers will need to remain near their child throughout the story time. Story Time will be on the last Monday of the month at 3pm, but will be moved to another day if that falls on a holiday. The May story time will be held on Monday, May 22, at 3pm. To ensure adequate space for movement, the story time group size cannot exceed 5 children, thus, preregistration is required. Please call the Reservoir Library at 601-992-2539 to register today.
