Winston County Today

Louisville, MS – The Winston County Library is thrilled to announce its 2025 Summer Library Program, running from June 3 through June 30. Open to all ages, this year’s theme, “Color Our World,” promises a month filled with books, creativity, and community fun. Families are invited to enjoy new books, hands-on art, magic shows, painting, doll-making, comic book creation, unicycling, juggling, and much more. Your library is the place to be this summer!

Preschoolers are invited to attend Storytime every Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. Children’s programs will take place each Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. and include Freedom Ranch on June 3, the Tiny Art Show on June 10, Marshall Ramsey on June 17, and Dorian LaChance the Magician with a Wrap-Up Party on June 24. In addition, Do-Art Productions will host an art workshop on Saturday, June 7, at 10:30 a.m. For the final celebration on June 24, children are encouraged to bring bathing suits, towels, and sunscreen to enjoy Water Day festivities following the magician’s show.

Teens can take part in two special workshops: Block Printing on June 11 at 10:00 a.m. and Clay Creations on June 18 at 10:00 a.m. Teens are encouraged to participate in the library’s photography display. Each participant may submit one appropriate photo to be displayed and will receive a $10 Wendy’s gift card. Photos may be delivered in person or emailed to winstoncirc@mmrls.lib.ms.us.

Adult programs will be held every Thursday at 2:00 p.m. and include Ceramics Painting on June 5, Bingo on June 12, a Summer Social with games, snacks, and door prizes on June 19, and Craft & Chat on June 26, where participants will create cutting board recipe card holders.

Every Wednesday in June at 2:00 p.m., teens and adults are invited to participate in a string doll class led by Kyra Roberson. These handmade dolls will be donated to Diamond Grove to benefit autistic individuals. The class is limited to 20 participants and includes all materials.

The library will also offer two all-day Lego Club sessions open to all ages on June 6 and June 20.

All ages are invited to participate in the Summer Reading Challenge. Readers will earn stickers to place on a giant reading log poster for every 10 minutes they read during June and July. Once the poster is filled, a surprise image will be revealed.
