Events like these do more than create fun memories-they help children build compassion, encourage reading and learning, and connect our community with incredible local organizations making a difference every day.

A special thank you to the Cookeville/Putnam County Animal Shelter for bringing these sweet furry friends and sharing the important work they do for animals in our community.

To everyone who came out, held a kitten, snapped a photo, or simply shared a smile-thank you for making this program such a success. Your enthusiasm turned an afternoon at the library into an unforgettable experience.

🧪🦖 The Baxter Library Branch was bursting with curiosity, laughter, and science! 🦖🧪

We had an incredible turnout for Mr. Rich’s Super Science Show at the Baxter Library Branch, and what a fantastic afternoon it was! Families filled the room to experience exciting experiments, interactive activities, and dinosaur-sized fun that kept kids engaged from beginning to end.

Programs like this are about more than entertainment-they encourage children to ask questions, think creatively, and discover that learning can be exciting. Seeing so many young minds eagerly participate and get involved made this event truly special.

A huge thank you to Mr. Rich for bringing his wonderfully wacky science show to Baxter and to everyone who joined us. Your enthusiasm helped make this one of our most memorable programs yet, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for even more family-friendly adventures at the library! 📚🔬✨
