📖✨ Time for round two of Traditions & Tales, GPL’s summer series connecting adults to the skills, stories, and pastimes that shaped the lives of Sumner County’s early settlers! 🏡🌾

🗓️ Gather round the metaphorical campfire this Tuesday at 5 pm for your fill of tall tales, short stories, and all the yarns in between, when we are joined by master storytellers Jerry Lumpkins, Trenda Moss, and Cole Shepherd!

👻 From the spooky to the scandalous 😲, uncover Gallatin’s fascinating figures and colorful past as we delve into the history and folklore of our storied city. 🏛️✨

🦖🎉 What a dino-mite way to kick off Summer Reading 2026! 🎉🦕

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our Jurassic-sized Summer Reading Kickoff at the Gallatin Public Library! From meeting local artists to exploring prehistoric-themed fun, it was a roar-some start to an unforgettable summer. 🦴✨

Stop by GPL to pick up your Summer Reading log and your June & July event calendar so you won’t miss a single fossil-finding, story-unearthing, T. rex-tastic activity, and scroll through to see how many prehistoric pals you can spot from our Kickoff! ➡️🦕

🦕🎨 One featured local artist just wasn’t enough for our Jurassic summer of fun, so in addition to Brooke Hammond, we’re also thrilled to feature local artist Traci Smith whose colorful exhibit “Cretaceous Confetti” 🦖✨ will be on display throughout the months of June and July at GPL!

🎉The Friends of GPL will be celebrating Traci’s work at her Artist Reception during the Summer Reading Kickoff this Saturday from 11 am to 1 pm! Meet Traci 👩‍🎨, explore her prehistoric-inspired creations 🖼️🦴, and celebrate a summer packed with art, imagination, and dino-sized fun!

📚☀️ Don’t forget to sign up for Summer Reading while you’re here!

We’re hitting the streets to feed children and youth this summer! 🥪🍪🧃🍎🚙

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in June and July, we’ll be at 8 locations offering grab-n-go meals (breakfast and lunch) to children 18 and younger!

We’ll park at each location for 15 minutes before traveling to the next. Check the times for each location. Drive up, walk up, and spread the word!!

Thank you to our generous sponsor Arby's Foundation and contributions from other community partners 💛
