We are so proud of how beautiful our building looks in celebration of 250 years of our Great Nation and our annual 4th of July Celebration. Special thanks to Paige Bass for the 250 signs, the anonymous donor for the decorations, Carrie Wymore for the decorating, and the City Guys for the help! We truly are the Best Little Town Under the Sun!

I am excited and honored to share that I have been selected as a recipient of the Diversity in Preservation Scholarship through the National Trust for Historic Preservation!

This scholarship will allow me to attend the National Preservation Summit in Washington, D.C., this September and participate in a year-long consortium with preservation professionals from across the country.

As Director of Mellinger Memorial Library, I have been blessed with opportunities to help preserve the history of Morning Sun. From securing National Register of Historic Places status for our library building to creating a searchable digital archive of local newspapers, yearbooks, and family histories, preserving our community's story has become one of my greatest passions.

I am incredibly grateful to the National Trust for Historic Preservation for this opportunity and to the Morning Sun community for supporting the library and our local history projects. Small towns matter, and our stories deserve to be preserved and shared.

I look forward to bringing new ideas, resources, and connections back to Morning Sun as we continue working to protect and celebrate our heritage.

Thank you to everyone who has supported these efforts along the way. This recognition belongs to our entire community. ❤️

Ms. Mandy Wykert Grimm from CJ Library came and visited us today! She led a program on Bridges since CJ has the swinging bridge. The kids worked in teams and built a bridge.
